I Want Everything

I want the birds from the skies

The sparkle in your eyes

I want the pangs of defeat

The flowers so sweet

I want everything

I want the city at dawn

The child being born

Gossamer wings

The bell as it rings

I want everything

But sometimes in the middle of the night all I want is you

So I just keep doing the things I have to do to get through

I want the dew on the leaves

The tapestry weaves

A butler named Jeeves

A billion Chinese

I want everything

Sunsets and rain

Disappointments and pain

Breakfast in bed

The dreams from your head

I want everything

But sometimes in the middle of the night all I want is you

So I just keep doing the things I have to do to get through

I want an island exotic

A woman erotic

The gross national product

Every narcotic

I want everything

I want the rose and its thorn

Situations all torn

Elevens and sevens

A place in heaven

I want everything

But lately in the middle of the night all I want is you

So I just keep doing the things I have to do to get through
