All I want to do Is wake up every morning and be happy and be care free And all I want to do Is love my man and make sure my family is okay And I want to sing, The songs that I write in my head On a stage, in a big place And I want to laugh Until tears fall down my face and my abs, are aching Is that too much to ask for, in my life, to have Nothing but the sweetest days Too much, for one, to have Or is it wishful thinking Oh I want to send My little brother Solomon to college, with no problem And how I hope The children that I sponsor down in Chile They get the money I send And I want to fly To Paris once a year for a vacation With my husband And I hope The nation stop fighting and find sweet peace, somewhere down deep Is that too much to ask for, in my life, to have Nothing but the sweetest days Too much, for one, to have Or is it wishful thinking I want my soul to fly free Without a single worry Fear or anxiety Could it be possible for all I wish to have Is that too much to ask for, in my life, to have Nothing but the sweetest days Too much, for one, to have Or is it wishful thinking
