This isn’t just another love song—it’s a heartfelt plea to stay connected, to share time with that one person who makes everything better just by being there.
From the first note, the track sweeps you into a sonic embrace, blending soft rock and The Moody Blues’ signature style of orchestral pop. The melody is soothing, almost like a warm summer breeze that carries a whisper of nostalgia.

Lyrics
When I think of all the things that we’ve been through
And all the things we’ve yet to do,
I… I start to realize
The world is such a lonely place.
Want to be with you
I remember all the heartaches we have known,
The angry nights when we were lonely.
The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you
I don’t need a reason,
I don’t need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you
Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.
And when I look back down that road
I see the turnings that we both made,
The choice we had to make
The promises we break
Are nothing more than memories.
Want to be with you.
The jealousy and pain,
Can we remain the same?
The world will have to hold its breath.
Want to be with you.
I don’t need a reason,
I don’t need to understand.
I just want to be,
Want to be with you.
Only want your love,
Only want you by my side,
Only want to be,
Want to be with you.
