Hard To Be Friends - Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge

It’s so hard to be friends

When it was so easy to be lovers

Holdin' on, holdin' on to each other

It’s so hard to be free

When it was so easy to be sheltered

Smothered by the promises

Someone said would keep the fire

Fill the cup and keep from deceivin'

Know so well, never tell

So hard to step forward

So easy to turn inward

Too soon to be ended

Too late too late to be mended

It’s so hard to be friends

When it was so easy to be lovers
