Carol Welsman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love the East, I love the West
North and South, their both the best
But I only want 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
You and they 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 log as we're together
Oh I love to hear you say my name

I love good wine, fine cuisine
Candle light I love the scene

Cause baby if you know just what I mean
I love being here with you
