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
