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
