Rather Be With You - The Dells

I could take my guitar

Hit the road and try to be a star

That sort of thing just don’t appeal to me

I could play some one night stands

Traveling light, a one man band

But I know this is where I’d rather be

It’s your bright sunshine that lifted

All the shadows off my mind

Yeah your sweet love led me to a brighter day

So you never have to worry

'Bout me leaving you behind

Wait and see, I won’t ever turn away

Hmm

Cause you made my dream come true

And gave my life new meaning too

And more than anything

I’d rather be with you

Well I’d rather be with you babe if I could (Hmm)

I’d rather be with you

You know I’d rather be with you babe surely would (Woo)

You know I’d rather be with you

Now this ghetto life is hard

In our concrete front yard

Nothing grows except a single tree to mark our place

But the moment that I’m with you

Girl your light and love shine through

And then I realize you’re my saving grace

I could catch that old greyhound

Head up west and bum around

Watch the sun set on the San Francisco Bay

But you mean so much to me

I could never put you down

That would be to big a price for me to pay

Hmm

Cause you made my dream come true

And gave my life new meaning too

And more than anything

I’d rather be with you

I’d rather be with you babe if I could (Hmm)

I’d rather be with you (Hmm)

I’d rather be with you babe surely would (I, I, I rather)

I’d rather be with you (Hmm)

I’d rather be with you
