A lesser-known gem made famous by Blossom Dearie. This is a tribute to Irene Kral and Alan Broadbent, who created a timeless rendition. The expressiveness of the piano grows organically with the storyline of the lyrics, taking the audience to unexpected places.

Lyrics:

I like you, you're nice

Seems like I've known you for years

But we met just an hour ago

I'd never know we're such old friends

And I like you a lot

So don't go

You're nice, you're very much me

How very nice we could be

But we wouldn't have all that we have

Let's never know and just be friends

'Cause I like you a lot

So don't go

Take me home and stay for a while with me

If you're good, I'll make you a marvelous

Wondrous

And quite notorious

Cup of Costa Rican coffee

'Cause I like you

Yes, I like you

You're nice
