You are everything And everything is you Oh, you are everything And everything is you 'Cause you are everything And everything is you
How can I forget When each face that I see Brings back memories Of being with you I just can't go on Living life as I do Comparing each girl with you Knowing they just won't do They're not you
'Cause you are everything And everything is you Oh, you are everything And everything is you You are everything And everything is you
