than my favorite sweater.

You have my heart
So don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)

’cause you're the only song
I want to hear
a melody softly soaring
through my atmosphere

Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
Shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound
when I hear your lips make a sound

I close my eyes, I think of you
I take a step, I think of you
I catch my breath, I think of you
I cannot rest, I think of you

It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world
was built for two
Only worth living
if somebody is loving you
And baby, now you do

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you

Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.

That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world

nothing compares to you
