NOBODY BUT YOU
Don Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who, by touching my hand
Makes me understand, questions my heart is asking
Who, opened my eyes, made me realize
Love is everlasting
Nobody but you, nobody but you
Nobody else, could love me, like you do
Nobody but you, could see me through
Your love is true and I donâ??t need nobody but you
Who comes just close enough
And shows me that love is nothing to be afraid of
Who, holds me so tight every night
And shows me what love is made of
Nobody but you, nobody but you
Nobody else, could love me, like you do




Nobody but you, could see me through
Your love is true and I donâ??t need nobody but you
