You To Me Are Everything Lyrics

I would take the stars
Out of the sky for you
Stop the rain from falling
If you asked me to
I'd do anything for you
Your wish is my command
I could move a mountain when
Your hand is in my hand
Words cannot express
How much you mean to me
There must be some other way
To make you see
If it takes my heart and soul
You know I'd pay the price
Everything that I possess
I'd gladly sacrifice

Oh You To Me Are Everything
The sweetest song
That I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess
I'm just a clown
Who picks you up
Each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just
A taste of love to
Build my hopes upon
You know you got
The power boy
To keep me holding on
So now you got
The best of me
Come on and
Take the rest of me
Oh baby

Though you're close to me
We seem so far apart
Maybe given time
You'll have a change of heart
If it takes forever boy then
I'm prepared to wait
The day you give your love to me
Won't be a day too late

Oh you to me are everything
The sweetest song
That I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess
I'm just a clown
Who picks you up
Each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just
A taste of love to
Build my hopes upon
You know you got
The power boy
To keep me holding on
So now you got
The best of me
Come on and
Take the rest of me
Oh baby

You To Me Are Everything

Although they prided themselves on writing their own material, brothers Chris and Eddie Amoo, who were members of The Real Thing, decided they needed to be more commercial just to get radio play. So they recorded this song, which was written by songwriters Ken Gold & Michael Denne, which gave them the commercial success they were looking for.

The Real Thing were four Liverpudlians who first came to public notice in the UK on television's talent show Opportunity Knocks. After an unsuccessful spell with two other labels, their fortunes changed after signing with Pye Records. This was their first chart entry and 8 other hits followed over a 3 year period, including "Can't Get By Without You," also written by Ken Gold & Michael Denne, which reached #2. Most of their other hits were written by the Amoo brothers. In the mid 1980s, re-mixed versions of their '70s hits revived interest in them and a re-mixed version of this song by Froggy, Simon Harris & KC took the band back into the Top 5. The new version stayed on the UK charts for 13 weeks, two weeks more than the chart-topping original.
