Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was dull and ordinary
But you made it sunny and bright.
I was blessed the day I found you, gonna build my whole world around you,
You're ev'rything good, girl and you're all that matters to me.
When my way was dark and troubles were near,
Your love provided the light so I couldn't see, girl
Kept the world from closing in on me, girl.
I was blessed the day I found you, gonna build my whole world around you,
You're ev'rything good, girl and you're all that matters to me.
You're part of ev'ry thought I think each day,
Your name is in ev'ry phrase my lips say,
Ev'ry dream I dream is about you.
Honey I couldn't live without you,
Baby! baby! baby, you're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything,
Yes, you are, you're my ev'rything,
Girl, you're the girl I sing about in ev'ry love song I sing.
You're my winter, baby, my summer, my fall, my spring.
I was blessed the day I found you, gonna build my whole world around you,
You're ev'rything good, girl and you're all that matters to me.
You're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything.
You're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything,
You're my ev'rything.

This even makes me feel romantic, the person who knows you love and you lose. Drives you batty sends you scatty. Love doesn't make sense, especially when it ends.
