Loving You Is Easy
Sarah McLachlan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shout it from the roof tops
How long must I wait 'til I see your smile
Mighta been the moonlight
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes
So wicked and I know I should go slow
But it's not in me to wait
'Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire
Shine like a star burst into the sky
Oh the fury of desire
You burn so bright, electrify
You light me up, you take me higher
I've been down a long road
And I've become a stranger to myself
Digging in my heels and hoping time
Might be kinder if I wait it out
Nothing came from wanting
And I became so small and insecure
Didn't know the cost of all I lost
'Til I found it fresh and new
Again with you
And I'm on fire
Shine like a star burst into the sky
Oh the fury of desire
You burn so bright, electrify
You light me up, you take me higher
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the roof tops
How long must I wait 'til I see your smile

Loving you is easy, loving you is wondrous and pure
Loving you is effortless, perfect, and untainted
I shout it from the roof tops
I'm not afraid to show the world how much I love you
How long must I wait 'til I see your smile
I'm anxious to see you and can't wait any longer
Mighta been the moonlight
The way you looked under the moonlight caught my attention
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes
Your eyes are so captivating that I can't look away
So wicked and I know I should go slow
You're so tempting and I know I should be careful not to rush things
But it's not in me to wait
I can't resist you and I don't want to wait any longer
'Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire
Being with you makes me feel alive and passionate
Shine like a star burst into the sky
Being with you makes me shine as brightly as a shooting star
Oh the fury of desire
My desire for you is intense and all-consuming
You burn so bright, electrify
Your energy and passion are electric and intense
You light me up, you take me higher
Being with you fills me with joy and makes me feel like I'm on top of the world
I've been down a long road
I've experienced a lot of hardships and struggles in my life
And I've become a stranger to myself
I've lost touch with who I am due to my struggles
Digging in my heels and hoping time
I've been trying to hold on and waiting for things to get better
Might be kinder if I wait it out
It might be easier if I just wait for things to improve
Nothing came from wanting
Just hoping for things to improve wasn't enough to bring me the happiness I sought
And I became so small and insecure
My struggles made me feel weak and unsure of myself
Didn't know the cost of all I lost
I didn't realize how much I had given up until it was too late
'Til I found it fresh and new again with you
I didn't know what I was missing until I found it again with you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Vocalization expressing feeling and emotion

Loving you is easy, loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the roof tops
How long must I wait 'til I see your smile
Might of been the moonlight
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes
So we gotta know I should go slow
But it's not in me to wait
'Cause I'm alive I'm on fire
Shine like a star burst into the sky
Oh the fury of desire
You burn so bright electrify
You light me up you take me higher
I've been down a long road
And I've become a stranger to myself
Digging in my heels and hoping time
Might be kinder if I wait it out
Nothing came from wondering
And I became so small and insecure
Didn't know the cost of all I lost
Until I found it fresh and new
(Again with you)
And I'm on fire
Shine like a star burst into the sky
Oh the fury of desire
You burn so bright electrify
You light me up you take me higher
(Whoa)
Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure

"Loving You Is Easy"
Loving you is easy.
Loving you is wondrous and pure.
I shout it from the rooftops,
'How long must I wait 'til I see your smile'?
Light up in the moonlight,
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes.
So wicked and I know I should go so,
But it's not like me to wait.
Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire.
Shot like a starburst into the sky.
Oh the fury of desire you burn so bright, you electrify.
You light me up; you take me higher.
I've been down a long road
And I've become a stranger to myself.
Digging in my heels and hoping time might be kinder if I waited out.
Nothing came from wanting and I became so small and insecure.
Didn't know the cost of all our lies 'til I found it fresh and new again with you.
And I'm on fire.
Shot like a starburst into the sky
Oh the fury of desire you burn so bright, you electrify
You light me up; you take me higher.
Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the rooftops
'How long must I wait 'til I see you smile?'
@edithguzman7277
I love that there's no weirdness to her. She just lets her vocal talent speak for itself.
@chasx7062
what? there is a lot of weirdness to Sarah McLachlan LOL I wanna hear her "dirty little secrets" heh
@edithguzman7277
@Chas X Weirdness in comparison to what we see on stage performing(cough, Grammys) nowadays. And dirty little secrets is a song inspired by something else not her life. 🙄
@chasx7062
@Edith Guzman what? where did you hear that? And like we never hear Sarah thank her ex-husband, it's like he never played drums for her 🤔
@edithguzman7277
@Chas X What does her private life have to do with anything? Ashwin is a big boy and who knows what went down. She spoke about her divorce and how painful it was. They have both moved on. No need to bring him up.
@chasx7062
@Edith Guzman Us boys have to stick together, 😅 especially when we get Swifted (Taylor) by all the Swifties.
@Avrilett
I love her .. she's amazing .. her voice is perfect ... & her songs are perfection <3
@mikesterSTLMO
The 90's (as well as Sarah's moment) may be over, but she's obviously still got it. I love this song!
@user-kh7lm5pr8g
