Everything To Me – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Boy if you ever left my,

My side,

It'd be like taking the sun from

The sky

I'd probably die without

You in

My life

Cause I need you to

Shine, shine

Your light

You're everything to me, heey

The air that I breathe, oh

I sigh so I see, oh Lord

You're everything to me

I can't repay you for all that you've done

Always come first and second to none

All that you've given me is equal to ten

My peace, my joy

You are my

My strength

You're everything to me, whoa

The air that I breathe

I sigh so I see, ohhh that

You're everything to me

(Boy I never thought) Never thought I'd feel a love like this

Better than our first date

Sweeter than our first kiss (and you)

Ain't no other person for me

You're my best friend

My lover

(Baby you're) My everything

You're everything to me, whoa

The air that I breathe

I sigh so I see, ohhh

You're everything to me

I need you, I need you, I need you...
