You Are Everything Lyrics
Michael Mcdonald
Lyrics
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you
An' as she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
'Cause it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
Everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
Oh baby, I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each one with you
'Cause they just won't do
They're not you
No baby, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Everything
Everything you are to me baby
No, no everything
Please baby, everything
You, you are everything
No, oh baby, I just cannot compare
