Lyrics
1. I wake up in the morning, I go to bed at night
I’m happy that I’m living, my heart is feeling light
And all because I’m in the place I always want to be
I want to be near you
You’re the one, the one, the one
I want to be near you
You’re the one for me
2. I wish that I were handsome, I wish that I were tall
I have a lot of wishes, though some I can’t recall
But what I want the most of all is not a mystery
I want to be near you
You’re the one, the one, the one
I want to be near you
You’re the one for me
3. I’ve got the moon to give you, I’ve also got the sun
And if you want a star I will get you any one
And in return what I desire is simple as can be
I want to be near you
You’re the one, the one, the one
I want to be near you
You’re the one for me
4. I’ll never be a saint or a dashing cavalier
I’ll never have a house with a crystal chandelier
But I don’t want a million or a fancy pedigree
I want to be near you
You’re the one, the one, the one
I want to be near you
You’re the one for me
5. I wish I had a house with a honeysuckle vine
I wish I had a gown made of satin for the shine
But what I want the most of all is not a mystery
I want to be near you
You’re the one, the one, the one
I want to be near you
You’re the one for me
6. I’ll never be a princess with lots of cavaliers
I’ll never have a palace with crystal chandeliers
But I don’t want a fortune or a fancy pedigree
I want to be near you
You’re the one, the one, the one
I want to be near you
You’re the one for me
