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 you

I 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 you

Singing 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 name

I 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 you

I 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 you

And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-dayHis utter charm takes me awayBut don’t get me wrong, how do you sayI love being here with you

Basie’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 go

I 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

Ella Fitzgerald – “I Love Being Here With You”
