Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends lyrics

I wake up with the smile

This perfect day has come

And all the tears in my eyes

Have dried now

I finally feel alive

I’ve left bad things behind

I know you are the one

You are the one

All days and nights

I just want to be with you

To hold you tight

I just want to be with you

Far or near

I just want to be with you

To love and care

I just want to be with you

Lying in my bed

My eyes are closed but still

I hear your footsteps ahead

And I can feel your breath

Every minute seems like a day

When I’m away from you and now

I know you are the one

You are the one

All days and nights

I just want to be with you

To hold you tight

I just want to be with you

Far or near

I just want to be with you

To love and care

I just want to be with you.
