I love the East, I love the West

And North and South they're both the best

But I only want to 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 'long as we're together

I love to hear you say my name


I love 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 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-swinging, I like Ella's singing

Because 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

That I love, and is love, I love being here with you
