Easy Living
Stan Getz The Count Basie Orchestra 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 is 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 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
