Manilow, Barry - Twenty Four Hours A Day Lyrics






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

    Greetings! The music of Barry Manilow has been and will always be the Sound Track of my life! No matter what album for they are all classics, they touch my spirit in ways no other artist does. I listen to Barry and I am transported back in time, some valleys and mountain tops of life. My first love Lisa will always be apart of my life and now that I have been married to the greatest Lady for over 24 years, my wife takes my breath away! Thank you my Darling Majken for you are the other half of my heart!
