Nothing 'round here to me that's sacred
Except you, yeah you
There's nothing 'round here to me that better
Except 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 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
Except you, yeah you
Got nothing here to live or die for
Except 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 that reminds me
Of that old familiar chime
Except you, yeah you
Used to run in the cemetery
And I used run and sing when I was a child
And 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
Except you, yeah you
Nothing anymore seems to please me
Except 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 got something to sell
Except you, yeah you
I'm in love with you
