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 Every time we meet together I feel like I'm on fire Nothin' matters to me And there is 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 In the churches 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 And it never seemed strange Now I just pass mournfully by That place where the bones of life are piled I know something 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 It holds me in its spell Everything runs by me Just like water from a well Everybody wants my attention Everybody's got something to sell 'Cept you, yeah you I'm in love with you
