US #36 for Leo Sayer in 1977
The same melody was used for Es f?cil amar and Aimer d'amour (Easy to love is the original).
Leo Sayer (co-writer, recording artist): From the album "Thunder in my heart" (1977) and written with Albert Hammond in L.A., Easy to love was another of those songs with an effortless birth. We threw this together one night as a jam and finished it up next day in the studio. Albert is always a pleasure to work with, we are very alike and have a similar energy, we sing in the same key, and on the demo tapes you can never tell which one of us it is who's singing! This song, as well as reaching the US top 40, had a major French language cover, which made the Canadian and French Top Ten in the early 1990's.

It's easy to love when I love someone like you
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know, love don't come easy, and love don't come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you, I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above
But that's the way that you shine when you give me your love
And your love satisfies me like a natural high
From the sole of my feet to the top of the sky
It's easy to love when I love someone like you
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know, love don't come easy, and love don't come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you, I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
Oh, and I do, babe
It's easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
Oh, and I do, babe
It's easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It's easy to love
It's easy to love
It's so easy to love...
