I would
love you to be the one that I see
when I wake up
I would like you to be the cream in my cup of coffee
won't you say that you would too
love it to be so true.

Can't you stay through the night and hold me close and real tight
like they do in old movies
you could be Ginger to my Fred Astaire
with you I'm always floating on air
Oh won't you be the one that I see
won't you wake up with me
tomorrow.

And she says,
why always talk of romance
why don't you sing and dance, like Kelly
and If I stayed through the night
would I look the same sight
tomorrow.

So we went through the motion
dodging the question
that burned on my lips
and when I kissed her goodnight
I made light of the moments we'd spent
but getting home
I burned alone
so I called her up on the phone
and said,
I'd love you to be the one that I see
tomorrow.
