The best things are easy   Like birthdays and Fridays   And paydays   The may days of weekends galore      The beaches and oceans   With screeches of seagulls   In motion   The surfers who light up   The board      When a stranger   Has painted your picture   And the portrait’s   Good as you      Now behold   The magic in a day   The magic in a day   There’s magic in a day      The best things are easy   Like being ahead of the traffic   The package that’s perfect   To send      The laughter just after   A fight with your partner   Or lover   Discovering mother’s   A friend      You remember   When every struggle   Could endanger   Every dream      Now behold   What light can wash away   What light can wash away      The best things are easy   Like naptime and bath time   And bedtime      The cuddle, the huddle   The love, hmm   A story or fable   To teach us again why we’re able   The message embracing us all      The best things are easy   The best things are easy   The best things are easy
