Easy Living
Leo Robin & Ralph Rainger 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 never regret the years that 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 will 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
