Nothing ’round here to me that’s sacred ’Cept you, yeah you 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 ’Cept you, yeah you
As a kid i'd here yes In the churches all the time Make me feel so good inside So peaceful, so sublime There's nothing does remind me of that Old familiar chime ’Cept you, uh huh you
Used to run in the cemetery Dance and run and sing when I was a child And i never seemed strange 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
Nothing anymore or seems to please me ’Cept 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 ’Cept you, yeah you
