Love Having You Around

Lyrics: Stevie Wonder
Music: Stevie Wonder

Played as an instrumental by Jerry Garcia with Merle Saunders in Legion of Mary (though the band may well have been called "Aunt Monk" at the time).

The lyrics in the Stevie Wonder version are:

Every day I want to fly my kite
Every day I want to fly my kite
An' every day I want to get on my camel and ride.

Every day I want to shake your hand
For in the world making me a better man
And every day I want to get on my camel and ride

And when the day is through
Nothing to do but sit around grooving with you
And I say it 'cause I love having you around
And I say it 'cause I love having you around

Everyday I want to be your friend
'Cause you have stuck with me through thick and thin
And every day I want a smile in your lovely brown eyes

Every day I'm gonna give my share
'Cause I know your gonna take me there
And every day I want to get on my camel and ride

And when the day is done
Nothing to do but spend all my time just loving you
And I say it 'cause I love having you around
And I say it 'cause I love having you around

And in the end I know you'll be with me
'Cause you made my soul so free
And every day I want to get on my camel and ride

And when the day is through
Nothing to do but sit around grooving with you
And I say it 'cause I love having you around
And I say it 'cause I love having you around
