Hey, have you ever listened to “Lovin’ Her Was Easier (than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again)”? It’s one of those songs that just wraps around you like a warm blanket on a chilly evening. Every time I hear it, I’m transported back to moments when love felt pure and uncomplicated.
Kris Kristofferson penned this gem, and his storytelling is just something else. He captures that rare kind of love that flows effortlessly—no second-guessing, no games, just two souls perfectly in sync. It’s the kind of connection that, once experienced, sets the bar for everything else.
What really gets me is how the song balances nostalgia with a hint of melancholy. It’s like he’s grateful for having loved that deeply but also aware that such a love might not come around again. And isn’t that something we all grapple with? The realization that some moments are so uniquely beautiful, they might just be once-in-a-lifetime.
The melody is simple yet haunting, complementing the lyrics without overpowering them. It leaves space for you to insert your own memories and feelings. I think that’s why it resonates with so many people—it feels personal, almost like he’s singing your own story back to you.
Over the years, several artists have covered the song, each bringing their own flavor, but the core emotion remains untouched. It’s a testament to how universal and timeless the theme is. If you haven’t given it a proper listen, we should sit down together sometime and play it. I promise it’s worth every second

Lyrics
Kris, I wanna do another one of your songs
That you’ll help me out with, will ya?
I have seen the morning burning golden
On the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling
And the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning all my world away
She smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine
And the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling
Of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people
And the places that I’ve been
Teaching me that yesterday was something
That I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money
Love and time we had to spend
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
I was close together with a feeling
That I’ve never known, before in my time
You’re not ashamed to be a woman
She’s not afraid to be a friend
I don’t know the answers to the easy way
She’s opened every door in my mind
And dreaming is as easy
As believing that it’s never gonna end
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling
That I’ve never known, before in my time
She’s not ashamed to be a woman
She’s not afraid to be a friend
I don’t know the answers to the easy way
She’s opened every door in my mind
Dreaming is as easy
As believing that it’s never gonna end
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
Thank you all very much
