Lyric
I love the East, I love the WestAnd North and South they’re both the bestBut I only want to go there as a guest‘Cause I love being here with youI love the sea, I love the shoreI love the rocks and what is moreWith you there, they’d never be a bore‘Cause I love being here with youSinging in the shower, laughing by the hourLife is such a breezy gameLove all kinds of weather ‘long as we’re togetherI love to hear you say my nameI love good wine and fine cuisineAnd candle light; I like the sceneBut, baby, if you know what I meanI love being here with youI love being here with youI like a dance by Fred AstaireAnd Brando’s eyes, Yul Brynner’s hairBut I think to tell you’s only fairThat I love being here with youAnd Cary Grant, oh do-dah-dayHis utter charm takes me awayBut don’t get me wrong, how do you sayI love being here with youBasie’s band a-swinging, I like Ella’s singingBecause there’s something else, you knowThey know how to say it, they know how to play itThey wind it up and let it goI love the thrill of New York showsI’d love to kiss Durante’s noseBut I’d like to say before I closeThat I love, and is love, I love being here with you
