I Love Being Here With You

(album: Trav'lin' Light - 2007)

What you mean, wanna know how I feel about you, baby?
Be poetic about it, alright

I love the east, I love the west
And north and 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 but what is more?
With you 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 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
'Cause 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

Oh, Basie's band's a-swinging, I like Ella 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 Durante's nose
But I'd like to say before I close, yeah, yeah
I just love, baby I love, well, I love being here with you
