guido's song

 

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.
