The Easiest Thing

[Intro – Acoustic Guitar, 5 second soft fingerpicking]
[Verse 1]
When I think back to years gone by,
Of all the joys, laughter and tears—
Odin wisely had sent you down:
Your beauty, warmth and charm.
And love that would never fade,
The gentle glow on twilight sands,
A spirit taming….. the darkest storms.

[Chorus 1]
Ohhh Dorothy,
your light carries on.
Every heart you touched,
still sings your song.
Through joy and sorrow,
your spirit will cling—
loving you..... was the easiest thing.

[Verse 2]
Loon-a Park rides, and mile-long lines,
Hot chips and scollops on the slow walk home.
Curlers in hand as you drifted to sleep,
Forever safe,—
by your side.

[Chorus 2]
Ohhh Dorothy,
the flame never dies.
Your warmth still glows,
where memory lies.
Forever your laughter,
will rise as we sing—
loving you… was the easiest thing.

[Verse 3]
The doctor spoke, your hand in mine.
The clock fell quiet—so little time.
You whispered soft:
“I’ve lived a good life.
......... I’m at peace with this.”

[Bridge]
Your love was a river—
that carried us along.
Your voice was pure —
Lighting up our days—
And even now, .....it lingers on.

[Chorus 3]
Ohhh Dorothy,
We traveled so free.
San Raf-fail hills,
Redwood giants, tall and proud.
Coastal drives down Car-mel way.
The Hulk and me in a Hollywood play.
College walks and halfway swims—
loving you, was always......... the easiest thing.


[Outro – Slow spoken]
"Remember me the way I am," she whispered.
"I know this is hard for you,
But you're my rock.
My heart calls for you to find your joy.
Always remember..... I love you Marty—

my little baby boy."—
