Easy Living
Herb Ellis Joe Pass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

I'll never regret the things I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you

For you maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand; they just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

For you maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand; they just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love




And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

Hi there! One from the excellent 'Seven, Come Eleven' album that feature Herb Ellis and Joe Pass. Joe Pass doesn't play on this one thou. Man they make a great duo but that's another subject. Herb makes great duo with everyone. Enjoy!
