Ooh, I’d love to be with you

Old man sun
He don’t have to come
I’ll keep warm with your smile

And when my troubles get bad
I should be sad
I’m happy all the while

(I forget the world outside)
Having your love, enjoying life
(Just me and you)
What a lovely way to spend my time

Ooh, I’d love to be with you

(You turn my work into play)
(It’s just one big holiday)
Baby, having so much fun, ooh
(There’s nothing we’ll leave undone)
(Just me and you)
What a lovely way to spend my time

Ooh, I’d love to be with you

(You’re Heaven on Earth for me)
Oh, no other address could there be
(There’s no other place for me)
Than with you (You baby)
My whole life through

You’re my inspiration (Yes, you are my love)
(What a sensation) Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, I’d love to be with you (Oh, what a feelin’)
Ooh, I’d love to be with you (Yeah, yeah)
