Here There and Everywhere
Emmylou Harris and JamesBurton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here making each day of the year
Changing my life with one wave of his hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

Running my hands through his hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking
But he doesn't know she's there

I want him everywhere
And if he's beside me I know I need never care
But to love him is to meet him
Everywhere knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching his eyes and hoping I'm always there
To be there and everywhere here there and everywhere

I want him everywhere
And if he's beside me I know I need never care
Oh but to love him is to meet him everywhere

Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies




Watching his eyes and hoping I'm always there
To be there and everywhere here there and everywhere
