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
