Ever since you came into my life
You have been so wonderful to me
That’s why where you are is where I want to be

Life is so much easier now
Since you are sharing it with me
That’s why where you are is where I want to be

And the sun shines wherever you are
And I must say that I don’t blame the sun
It’s a good day wherever you are
And a good night when the day is done

Ever since you came in my life
The world’s a lovely place to be
That’s why where you are is where I want to be
That’s why where you are is where I want to be
That’s why where you are is where I want to be
