MUSIC BY BARRY MANILOW

LYRICS BY MARTY PANZER



I was gonna see the world one day

Maybe be a movie star

Or buy a quiet house, down by the bay

And write about the way things are

But the way things are right now

I can hardly write my name

And I've lost my taste for the wanderin' ways

For fortune and for fame



Darlin' all I want to do is be with you

Twenty four hours a day

All the other dreams I've had

Have faded away

Darlin' all I want to do is be with you

Twenty four hours a day

If you want to be with me

Then here's where I'll stay



I was gonna save the human race

Find my place in history

Or sail away one day far out in space

And live a life of mystery

But the mystery to me

Is the life I've lived before

And the place for me isn't history

It's with you forever more



Darlin' all I want to do is be with you

Twenty four hours a day

All the other dreams I've had

Have faded away

Darlin' all I want to do is be with you

Twenty four hours a day

If you want to be with me

Then here's where I'll stay
