Easier Said Than Done - Lyrics - Darden Smith

Darden Smith is an Austin-based singer-songwriter known for his lyrics and for weaving folk and Americana influences with rock, pop, and the musical roots of his home state. His debut album, "Native Soil," was released in 1986. His fourteenth album, Love Calling, came out August 27, 2013. Over the past decade, Smith has developed two programs, The Be An Artist Program and SongwritingWith . Both use collaborative songwriting to work with groups ranging from children in the classroom to soldiers returning home from combat. Smith established SongwritingWith:Soldiers as a separate non-profit organization in 2012. In a recent presentation for TEDxAustin called "Fearing Your Gift," Darden Smith discusses what led him to these projects and how, going forward, creativity is central to everything he does.

Love is patient, love is blind Never jealous, love is kind If my love is really true Why can't I be that way with you It's easier said than done Easy to talk that talk How long will I run 'Till I walk that walk It ought to be so easy to love someone But it's easier said than done My loving words sound so good But am I only saying what I think I should To make it real oh there's just one way I'm gonna have to prove it everyday But ... It's easier said than done Easy to talk that talk How long will I run 'Till I walk that walk It ought to be so easy to love someone But it's easier said than done Once again love conquers all And here I am with my back to the wall It shouldn't be so hard for me to do To drop my guard and surrender to you But ... It's easier said than done Easy to talk that talk How long will I run 'Till I walk that walk It ought to be so easy to love someone But it's easier said than done You'd got to know by now how to love someone But it's easier said than done
