(You Are) Everything To Me

Some men live for money
All their dreams are paved with gold
Some men worship power
Anything they can control
Some men want to be famous
They want to see themselves on tv
Some men find religion
You are everything to me

If I were a sailor, darling
You'd be my North Star
And if I still drank whiskey, honey
You would be my bar
And if were a river, darling
You would be the sea
My magnificent obsession
You are everything to me

Sometimes I just sit and stare in wide eyed wonder
At how this thing so great
Could have happened to me
What you have wrought
Let no man rend asunder
You are everything to me

If I were a gambler, darling
You'd be my last chance
If I were a dancer, honey
You would be the dance
And if I were an angel
Waiting for eternity
You'd be my salvation
You are everything to me
