I had an original vinyl of this... the whole album. damn it got lost yrs ago. IMHO, one of the greatest duos ever. George and Tammy might be remembered more but Kris and Rita wrote their own stuff.
My sister Ria passed away one day ago and this was one of her favourite songs...thanx for the upload because we only have it on a record...but no recordplayer anymore xxx from Holland
Thanks so much for putting up an undistorted version! Wish the stupid record company would reissue this--much better than their second album, which was reissued.
Lyrics 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 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
Its so sad to hear ths song when we now how things ended between them. A beautiful song that brings tears in my eyes.

This song was composed by Larry Murray. The best version by far to my opinion was recorded by Dutch group The Cats.
TC Smith me, too
I have a original final in my music library .... It is a shame beautiful song.
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, BEAUTIFUL WORDS WRITTEN BY KRIS WITH RITA ALWAYS THE BEST SOUNDS.

Lyrics
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
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
