All I Want To Be

© 2015 Mark Cote

Where we live
where we die
my as those days fly by
many lives so tied down
obligations all around
but God gave me wings
for my new life to begin

(chorus) like Icarus flying into the sun
                  and we two are one
                  with you here with me
                  I never feel the heat
                  and all I want to be
                  is happy
                  all I want to be
                  is happy

lift me up
let me soar
and look back never more
I'd rather kiss paradise
and hear her sweet sighs
if only just for a day
than go on in greyer haze

(chorus) like Icarus flying into the sun
          and we two are one
          with you here with me
          I never feel the heat
          and all I want to be
          is happy
          all I want to be
          is happy
          a butterfly that opens up it's eyes
          after years it tried
          maybe it all won't last
          maybe days will fly past
          but all I want to be
            is happy
          and all I wnat to be is happy

(instrumental)

waiting there
across the miles
in tomorrow she smiles
to welcome me home
to where my dreams have roamed

                  like Icarus flying into the sun
          and we two are one
          with you here with me
          I never feel the heat
          and all I want to be
          is happy
          all I want to be
                 is happy
          a butterfly that opens up it's eyes
          after years it tried
          maybe it all won't last
          maybe days will fly past
          but all I want to be
            is happy
          and all I wnat to be is happy
