I Wanna Be With You
Dan Hill · I'm Doing Fine [2007]
When I wake up in the morning.
I wanna be with you
When you fall asleep at night.
I'm gonna stay right by your side,
Starting today, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
When the darkness comes,
And the silence makes you crazy,
Oh, I wanna be the one
Who's gonna take you through the night.
I'll always be there.
When the world ain't giving out any hope at all
Let me comfort you. I'll catch you when you fall
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
Everything I am,
Everything I'll ever be,
Everything's so empty
Without you here with me.
So you feel the same way too,
'Cause I just wanna be with you.
Gonna stay right by your side,
Starting today, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
Oh, baby.
I wanna be with you
For the rest of my life
I Wanna Be With You
