Everything My Heart Desires
Hans Zimmer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything my heart desires is he
Every time I pray a prayer for you
Everything my heart requires is here
Is here

The sad show at the carnival
Was my pleasure before you
Round and round onto the merry-go-round
It's cool but so cold
This time, this time
I will kill the lone of me

'Cause
Everything my heart desires is he
Every time I pray a prayer for you
Everything my heart requires is here
Is here

Some wave's getting me
And I couldn't get myself
My broken skin
It covered in
But which is of cold
Oh, heartbreak
Hold to tear
It's finally brought in down

'Cause
Everything my heart desires is he
Everything my heart could want is he
Everything my heart requires is here
Is here with you

oh, heartbreak
Hold to tear
It's finally brought in down

'Cause
Everything my heart desires is he
Every time I pray a prayer for you
Everything my heart requires is here
Is here

Everything my heart desires is he
Every time I pray a prayer for you
Everything my heart requires is here




Is here with you
With you

This song plays while Jack Nicholson says, "You make me want to be a better man." That is on of my favorite movie lines and it's in a perfect movie. This song is perfect!

As Good As It Gets. A wonderful cast, a story that breaks my heart and two absolutely lovely tunes that can fix it as well. Danielle, my sincere thanks!

@SummerRain368

How many times did I have to watch "As Good As It Gets" to realize one of the main reasons I LOVE it is because of this song and "My Only"!! That voice and the melodies - so hauntingly beautiful! Thank you!
