Lyrics
- I love the east, I love the west
And north or South, they’re both the best
But I’ll only go there as a guest
‘Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea, I love the shore
I love the rocks and what is more
With you there, they’d never be a bore
‘Cause I love being here with you
Singing in the shower
Laughing by the hour
Life is such a breezy game
Love all kinds of weather
As long as we’re together
I love to hear you say my name
I like good wine and fine cuisine
And candle light, I like the scene
But baby if you know what I mean
I love being here with you - I like a dance by Fred Astaire
And Brando’s eyes, Yul Brynner’s hair
But I think to tell you’s only fair
That I love being here with you
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day
His utter charm takes me away
But don’t get me wrong, how do you say
I love being here with you
Basie’s band a-swingin’
I like Ella’s singing
‘Cause there’s something else, you know
They know how to say it
They know how to play it
They wind it up and let it go
I love the thrill of New York shows
I’d love to kiss Durante’s nose
But I’d like to say before I close
I love being here with you
