Robyn McCorquodale: Music

I Love Being Here With You

(Lyrics and Music by Peggy Lee and William Schluger)
I love the East, I love the West
I love the North and South 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 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
I love all kinds of weather
As long as we're together
I love to hear you say my name

I love wine and fine cuisine
Candle light, I love the scene
Don't get me wrong
You know what I mean
I love being here with you

I love a dance with Fred Astaire
Brando's eyes, Yul Brynner's hair
I hate to tell you but it's only fair
That I love being here with you

Cary Grant, oo doo dah day
His utter charm just takes me away
Don't get me wrong how do you say
I love being here with you

Basie's band is swinging
I love Ella's singing
She's something else you know
She knows how to say it
They know how to play it
They just wind it up and let it go

I love the thrill of a New York show
I'd love to kiss you all on your nose
I want to say before I close
I love being her with you
