I Love Being Here With You - Ernestine Anderson

I love the east, I love the west

And north and south, they’re both the best

But I 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, long as we’re together

I love to hear you say my name

I like good wine and fine cuisine

And candle light, I love the scene

But baby, if you know what I mean

I just love being here with you

A dance by Fred Astaire

And Brando’s eyes, Yul Brynner’s hair

But I think to tell you it’s only fair

That I love being here with you

And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day

His utter charms just takes me away

Don’t get me wrong, how do you say

I love being here with you

Basie’s band a-swinging, I love Ella’s singing

Because there’s something else, you know

They know how to say it, they know how to play it

They just 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 being here with you

Basie’s band a-swinging, I love Ella’s singing

Because there’s something else, you know

They know how to say it, they know how to play it

They just wind it up and let it go

I love the thrill of New York shows

I’d love to kiss Durante’s nose

I’d just like to say before I close

That I love being here with you

I love being here with you
