One of the least complicated and clearly straightforward songs by Leonard Cohen, recounting a fleeting love (affair), in a style reminiscent of his fellow Canadian, Neil Young.
One of two love songs on the much acclaimed 2014 Popular Problems album. The other is “Did I ever Love You”.
The song was...
[Intro]
Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
[Hook]
Drove you to the station
Never asked you why
Drove you to the station
Never asked you why
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
[Hook]
All the boys are waving
Trying to catch your eye
All the boys are waving
Trying to catch your eye
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
[Hook]
Wasn't hard to love you
I Didn't have to try
Wasn't hard to love you
Didn't have to try
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
Held you for a little while
My, oh, my, oh my
[Outro]
