Easy To Love
The Three Tenors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me

I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same

I'm not entirely to blame
For love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above

So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see




Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

To have Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly in the audience, that must have been one heck of a treat. You could tell Frank was touched and Gene was touched as well. What a special moment for those in the crowd.

@SCHEPPEL

Once in a lifetime 🌿

@marce2409

So touching seeing Frank Sinatra' s expression of joy and pride. I love this performance. Four geniuses

@renerpho

This was at a time when Sinatra's health was declining rapidly, and he was basically unable to perform live due to dementia-like symptoms. It is very touching indeed to see him honored in this way.

@renerpho

I also love the expression on Domingo's face in the beginning. You can tell he is looking at Sinatra, and smiling. The three are visibly proud to sing this song for him.
