Easy Living
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
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
