I remember a time, rompin' through the woods
   Sun against our skin instead of clothes
   When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
   And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
  
   It was so easy then never takin' any stands
   It was so easy then, holdin' hands
  
   I remember a time when our fears could be named
   And courage meant not refusing dares
   I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
   No only on the squares
   Or else we'd be abducted by the bears
  
   It was so easy then never makin' any plans
   It was so easy then, holdin' hands
   It was so easy then never makin' any plans
   It was so easy then, holdin' hands
  
   And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
   And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
   Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
   Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
  
   It was so easy once, holdin' hands without a plan
   It was so easy once holdin' hands
   Just holdin' hands
