“Twenty Four Hours A 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
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
