Nine (musical)

Guido's song

Nine (musical)
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 it's 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 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 it's knees and say, "Guido,
Whatever you please, it's okay.
Even if it's ridiculous,
We'll arrange it."
So arrange it!

(Arrange it!)

That's all that I want!
