Nothin' 'round here to me that's sacred

'cept you, yeah you

Nothin' 'round here to me that matters

'cept you, yeah you



You're the one that reaches me

You're the one that i admire

Y every time we meet together

I feel like i'm on fire

Nothin' matters to me

And there's nothin' i desire

'cept you, yeah you



Nothin' 'round here i care to try for

'cept you, yeah you

Got nothin' here to live or die for

'cept you, yeah you



As a kid i'd hear it

Yes in church all the time

Make me feel so good inside

So peaceful, so sublime

Now nothin' does remind me of that

Old familiar chime

'cept you, yeah you



Used to run in the cemetery

Dance and run and sing when i was a child

An' it never seemed strange

But now i just pass mournfully by

That place where the bones of life are piled

I know somethin' has changed

I'm a stranger here and no one sees me

'cept you, yeah you



Nothin' anymore seems to please me

'cept you, yeah you

Your love hypnotizes me

An' holds me in its spell

Ev'rything runs by me

Just like water from a well

Ev'rybody wants my attention

Ev'rybody's got somethin' to sell

'cept you, yeah you



I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you
