Verse 1:
I'm so ashamed of my vocabulary,
It isn't what it really ought to be.
I have a task that isn't ordinary,
When I'm describing what you are to me;
Can't you see?
Chorus:
You're my ev'rything underneath the sun,
You're my ev'rything rolled up into one.
You're my only dream, my only real reality,
You're my idea of a perfect personality.
You're my ev'rything, ev'rything I need,
You're the song I sing and the book I read;
You're away beyond belief,
And just to make it brief,
You're my winter, summer, spring,
My ev'rything.
Verse 2 (from British sheet music):
You're just a treasure there is no replacing,
You really are unique in ev'ry way.
I only know one word that's all embracing,
To tell you what you mean to me today;
So, I say:
[Chorus]
