|
I would like to be here, I would like to be there |
|
I would like to be everywhere at once |
|
I know that's a contradiction in terms |
|
And it's a problem especially when my body's nearing fifty |
|
As my mind is nearing ten |
|
I can hardly stay up, I can't get to sleep |
|
And I don't want to wake tomorrow morning at the bottom of some heap |
|
But why take it so seriously? |
|
After all, there's nothing at stake here only me |
|
I want to be young and I want to be old |
|
I would like to be wise before my time |
|
And yet be foolish and brash and bold |
|
I would like the universe to get down on its knees |
|
And say, \"Guido, whatever you please |
|
It's okay even if it's impossible we'll arrange it\" |
|
That's all that I want |
|
I am lusting for more, should I settle for less? |
|
I ask you what's a good thing for if not for taking it to excess? |
|
One limitation I dearly regret, there's only one of me I've ever met |
|
I would like to have another me to travel along with myself |
|
I would even like to be able to sing a duet with myself |
|
I would like to be here, sing along with myself |
|
In a song to be there walking down a lane now |
|
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere |
|
That's a contradiction in terms |
|
I want to be here with a counter here |
|
Melody in the here, top of the morning to you |
|
Guido, Guido, Guido, Guido |
|
Guido, Guido, Me, me, me |
|
I want to be Proust or the Marquis De Sade |
|
I would like to be Christ, Mohammed, Buddha |
|
But not have to believe in God |
|
And you know I mean it with all of my heart |
|
It's the end if something important doesn't start |
|
I want to be young but I have to be old |
|
What I want is a tale of sound and fury that some idiot went and told |
|
I would like the universe to get down on its knees |
|
And say, \"Guido, whatever you please |
|
It's okay even if it's ridiculous we'll arrange it\" |
|
So arrange it |
|
That's all that I want |
|
Guido, Guido |
|
Guido, Guido |
|
Guido, Guido |
|
Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini |
|
Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini |
|
Guido, Guido |
