A love song, both in microcosm and in macrocosm;
it's a world traveler's wish list and as such, the
first of several songs in this collection
expressing a 'wish-ful' theme.
I'd like to spend the night in the heart of the
Great Pyramid
I'd like to spend the night in the Lincoln Park
Zoo
I'd like to spend the night on the crest of Mt.
Everest
And I'd love to spend the night next to you
I'd like to spend a week on a slow boat to nowhere
I'd like to spend a week in a hot air balloon
I'd like to spend a week in a bell beneath the
ocean
And I'd love to spend a week next to you
Next to you, next to you, I belong next to you
Next to you, next to you, all night long next to
you
I'd like to spend a year on the banks of the
Ganges
I'd like to spend a year as one of Jacques
Cousteau's crew
I'd like to spend a year high in the Peruvian
Andes
And I'd love to spend a year next to you
Next to you, next to you, I belong next to you
Next to you, next to you, I'd be strong
Next to you, next to you, all night long next to
you
I want to spend my life exploring this Universe
I want to spend my life discovering what's true
I want to spend my life singing songs that last
forever
And I'd love to spend my life singing songs just
for you
And I'd love to spend my life next to you
Next to you, next to you, I belong next to you
Next to you, next to you, I'd be strong
Just for you, just for you, sing my song
Next to you, all night long next to you
You
