EVERYTHING

You're the only thing on my mind while he's holding me
tonight.
His touch is soft &; gentle.
His squeeze is comfortable &; tight.
He's doing everything perfect, but it just doesn't feel right.

Your kiss is what I long for.
Your face is all I see.
I close my eyes to hold tears back.
I pretend it's you holding me.

The flowers are all dying.
The gold &; diamond's look a fright.
There's someone here beside me, but he's not the company I want
tonight.

I have almost everything I've ever wanted, but it doesn't mean a
thing.
I'll give him all the gifts back.
He can have this damn ring.

It wouldn't matter if there were a million guys, with a million gifts, ...
It's all still merely a joke.
None of this can make me happy.
I mask my saddness with a smile, but my heart ...God knows, it's still
broke.

He says he'll give me everything I could ever want.
If he only knew ...
Everything I want is.....you.
