Daniel Day-Lewis

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

And 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 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!

Women: Arrange it!

That's all that I want

Women: La, la, la, la, la... Guido, Guido, Guido, Guido,

Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini, Contini

Guido! Guido!
