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

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
