There's nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
'Cept you, yeah you
There's nothing 'round here to me that matters
'Cept you, yeah you
You're the one that reaches me
You're the one that I admire
Every time we meet together
I feel like I'm on fire
Nothing matters to me
And there's nothing I desire
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing 'round here I care to try for, 'cept you, yeah you
Got nothing here to live or die for, except you, yeah you
There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing that reminds me of that
Old familiar chime, except you, yeah you
Bridge
Used to run in the cemetery
Dance and run and sing but I was a child
And it never seemed strange
But now I just pass mournfully
By that place where bones of life are piled
I know somethin' has changed
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me, except you, yeah you
Nothing any more seems to please me,except you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Everybody's got something to sell
Except you, yeah you
I'm in love with you!
