Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm, oh
Mmm, oh, oh
My everything, everything, everything
You are my everything, you are my everything
You, my everything
Everything, everything, everything
[Verse 1]
It's all because of you
I'm never sad and blue
You brighten up my day
In your own special way
Whenever you're around
I'm never feeling down
You are my trusted friend
On you, I can depend
[PreChorus]
You take me away from the pain and you bring me paradise
And when I have cloudy days, you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred to me, the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love that your love can't be replaced
[Chorus]
You are my everything (You are, you're my everything)
Love so good only you can bring (Love so good, so good, so good, so good only you can bring)
You are my everything (Yeah, you are my, oh)
You are everything, and everything is you
[Verse 2]
My darling, only you can make my dreams come true
And every night, I pray you'll never go away
I promise I will try until the day I die
To treat you like a king 'cause you are my everything
[PreChorus]
You take me away from the pain and you bring me paradise
And when I have cloudy days, you brought sunshine in my life
It never occurred to me, the first time I saw your face
I would fall so deep in love that your love can't be replaced
[Chorus]
You are my everything (You, you're my everything)
Love so good only you can bring (Love so good, so good, so good, so good only you can bring, yeah)
You are my everything (You are, oh no, oh-oh)
You are everything, and everything is you
[Bridge]
You are everything and everything is you (You, you, you, you're my, my, my, everything is you)
You are everything and everything is you (Oh, you are my)
You are everything and everything is you (Oh, hey, you)
You are everything and everything is you (When you're lovin' me)
Put your lovin' arms around me (When you're lovin' me)
Said I feel so safe, I find security (When you're lovin' me)
Forever, I want you to hold me (When you're lovin' me)
My every, every, every, every, everything, yeah
[Chorus]
You are my everything (You, oh)
Love so good only you can bring (Love so good only you can bring, yeah, yeah)
You are my everything (Oh, you are)
You are everything and everything is you (Oh, you are everything, you're everything, oh, you take me away)
[Outro]
You are my everything (And you bring me paradise)
Love so good only you can bring (When I am down, you bring sunshine in my life)
You are my everything (Never occurred to me)
You are everything and everything is you (I would fall so deep, yeah, mmm)
[Outro]
Take me away (Oh)
