You Are the Everything Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
(Say, say, the light) I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me
(Say, say, the light) Eviscerate your memory, here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
(Say, say, the light) The windows wrap around to the sound of the travel and the engine
(Say, say, the light)
 
[Chorus]
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute, the stillness still
That doesn't end but slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you, for you alone
You are the everything
 
[Verse 2]
I think about this world a lot and I cry (Say, say, the light)
And I've seen the films and the eyes
(Say, say, the light) But I'm in this kitchen, everything is beautiful
(Say, say, the light) And she is so beautiful, she is so young and old
(Say, say, the light) I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music
 
[Chorus]
The voices talking somewhere in the house, late spring
And you're drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me, you are here with me
You have been here and you are everything
 
 
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
(Say, say, the light) I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me
(Say, say, the light) Eviscerate your memory, here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
(Say, say, the light) The windows wrap around to sound of the travel and the engine
(Say, say, the light)
 
[Chorus]
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute, the stillness still
That doesn't end but slowly drifts into sleep
The greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you, for you alone
You are the everything
 
[Outro]
For you alone you are the everything

[untitled] Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This world is big (This world is big)
And so awake (And so awake)
I stayed up late (I stayed up late)
To hear your voice
This light is here (This light is here)
To keep you warm (To keep you warm)
This song is here (This song is here)
To keep you strong
 
[Verse 2]
(I made a list) I made a list
(Of things to say) Of things to say
But all I want to say (But all I want)
All I really want to say is (Yes, all I want)
 
[Chorus]
(I made a list) Hold her
(Of things to say) And keep him strong
(But all I want) While I'm away from here
(Yes, all I want)
(This world is big) Hold her
(And so alone) And keep her strong
(I stayed up late) While I'm away from here
(To hear your voice)
(This light is here) Hold him
(To keep you warm) And keep him strong
(This song is here) While I'm away from here
(To keep you strong)
 
 
[Bridge]
I've seen the world and so awake (Keep him strong)
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
I've seen the world and so awake (Keep him strong)
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
 
[Outro]
(I've seen the world) Hold her
(And so awake) And keep her strong
(So stay awake) While I'm away from here
(To hear me sing)
(I've seen the world) And hold him
(And so awake) And keep him strong
(So stay awake) while I'm away from here
(To hear me sing)
