There´s nothing ´round here I believe in
´Cept you, yeah you
And there´s nothing to me that´s sacred
´Cept you, yeah you

You´re the one that reaches me
You´re the one that I admire
Every time we meet together
My soul feels like it´s 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 left to live or die for
´Cept 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 to remind me of that

Old familiar chime
´Cept you, uh huh you

Used to play in the cemetery
Dance and sing and run when I was a child
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

Nothing much matters 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
Ev´rybody´s got something to sell
´Cept you, yeah you
