You ever hear a song that feels like it’s sitting right next to you, whispering memories you didn’t know you still carried? That’s what “Loving Her Was Easier” does. It’s not just a melody or a set of lyrics—it’s a warm hand on your shoulder, a quiet moment that pulls you into the soft ache of love and loss. Written with a tender heart, this song wraps you up in its simplicity and leaves you feeling like you just shared a coffee with an old friend who gets it.
The beauty of “Loving Her Was Easier” lies in how it captures love’s fleeting glow. It’s not about grand gestures or dramatic heartbreak; it’s about the small, everyday moments that make love feel like home—until it’s gone. The lyrics paint a picture of quiet mornings, shared laughter, and the kind of comfort you only realize you had when it slips away. There’s a line in there that hits like a sigh: it talks about how loving her was as natural as breathing, but letting her go felt like forgetting how. Doesn’t that just twist your heart a little?
What makes this song stick with you is its honesty. It doesn’t pretend love is all roses or all ruins. It’s both, and it’s neither—it’s just real. The melody sways like a slow dance, with a gentle acoustic strum that feels like it’s been around forever, like something your dad might’ve hummed while fixing the porch swing. It’s timeless, not because it’s trying to be, but because it’s not afraid to lean into the truth: love is easy until it isn’t, and that’s okay.
I think what’ll grab you most is how it makes you reflect. Maybe you’ll think of someone you loved, or still love, or wish you’d loved better. Maybe you’ll remember a time when life felt softer, or you’ll wonder why letting go is always so damn hard. It’s the kind of song that invites you to sit with those thoughts, not to fix them, but to feel them. And isn’t that what music’s for?
So, next time you’re driving at dusk or staring out a window with a coffee gone cold, give “Loving Her Was Easier” a listen. Let it remind you of the beauty in loving, even when it hurts. What’s a song that’s done that for you lately?

Lyrics
I have seen the mornin’ burnin’ golden on the mountain in the skies
Achin’ with the feelin’ of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turnin’ on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dyin’
Healin’ as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Wakin’ in the mornin’ to the feelin’ of her fingers on my skin
Wipin’ out the traces of the people and the places that I’ve been
Teachin’ me that yesterday was somethin’ that I’d never thought of trying’
Talkin’ of tomorrow and the money love and time we had to spend
Lovin’ her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again
Comin’ close together with a feelin’ that I’ve never known before in my time
She ain’t ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don’t know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreamin’ was as easy as believin’ it was never gonna end
And lovin’ her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again
