Easy Love
Leo Sayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love don't come easy and love don't come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above
But that's the way that you shine when you give me your love
And your love satisfies me like a natural high
From the sole of my feet to the top of the sky
It's easy to love when I love someone like you
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love don't come easy and love don't come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
Oh and I do, babe
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
Oh and I do, babe
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It's easy to love
It's easy to love
The lyrics to Leo Sayer's song "Easy Love" express the ease that comes with loving someone who reciprocates those feelings. Sayer's sweet, gentle voice is the perfect match for the tender message embedded in the lyrics. The song acknowledges that love isn't always easy, but when two people really connect, it can come naturally. The chorus repeats the message that loving someone like the person he is addressing is easy - it's easy to feel and easy to love. The song also includes some beautiful similes that expand on this idea of love being like the stars, "Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above, But that's the way that you shine when you give me your love". His comparison of her love for him being like a natural high is evocative and heartwarming. These lyrics, in essence, communicate the joyful, contented state that being in love with someone can bring.
In many ways, "Easy Love" is a quintessential love song. The lyrics are simple yet effective, capturing the emotions of loving and being deeply loved in return. It is worth noting that the song is not only a tribute to the one he loves, but also to love itself. The lyrics suggest that love is something that should be taken seriously and cared for when the opportunity presents itself. There is a sense of urgency in the phrases "love don't come easy and love don't come fast, but when it comes to you, you gotta make it last". Sayer has created a song that is a perfect match for his smooth vocals as it casts a spell on the listener and leaves them in a reverie of what love could be like.

Primera canción que conocí de Leo Sayer, estando yo hospitalizado por rara enfermedad llamada Púrpura Trombositopédica. Duré 19 días internado. Un radio que tenían las enfermeras y todo el día puesto. Me gustó mucho la canción y la conseguí en 1982 en disco de 45 RPM… qué bonito recuerdo!!!
