You're My Everything
Sarah Vaughan Harold Mooney And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my everything underneath the sun
You're my everything rolled up into one
You're my only dream, my only real reality
You're my idea of a perfect personality

You're my everything, everything I need
You're the song I sing and the book I read
You're a way beyond belief and just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring, my everything

You're my everything (everything I need)
You're the song I sing and the book I read




You're a way beyond belief and just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring, my everything
