Theres nothing round here I believe in
cept you, yeah you
And theres nothing to me thats sacred
cept you, yeah you
Youre the one that reaches me
Youre the one that I admire
Every time we meet together
My soul feels like its on fire
Nothing matters to me
And theres 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
Theres a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And theres 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
Im 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
Evrybodys got something to sell
cept you, yeah you
