You to Me Are Everything

About You to Me Are Everything

"You to Me Are Everything" is a single by the British soul group The Real Thing. Written by Ken Gold and Michael Denne and produced by Ken Gold, "You to Me Are Everything" was The Real Thing's sole number-one single in the UK Singles chart, spending three weeks at the top in July 1976. A remixed version of the song returned to the chart in March 1986 reaching number five. In New Zealand, You To Me Are Everything peaked at #10 in the RIANZ, You To Me Are Everything in Ireland became a popular hit at #3. The song was a minor hit in the U. S. where it peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 28 on the Billboard R&B chart. One of the reasons for its lack of success in the U. S. was the flood of cover versions of the song released at the same time. American groups Broadway and Revelation both released versions of the song the same week, and at one point all three versions of the song appeared on Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. With radio and the public unable to agree on a single popular version, the three singles effectively prevented each other from becoming a hit. The song was subsequently covered by Frankie Valli, Sonia, Tiny Tim, Public Enemy, Sean Maguire and Andy Abraham. A Finnish version entitled "Ei enempää voi pyytää" ("He can ask no more") was recorded in 1978 by Petri Pettersson. Later on, in 1997, songwriter Marina Rei successfully recorded an Italian-language version, "Primavera" ("Spring"). more »

Oh, I would take the stars out of the sky for you 
Stop the rain from falling if you ask 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 

Oh, words can not 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'll pay the price 
Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice 

[Chorus]
Oh, you to me are everything 
The sweetest song that I can 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've got the power boy 
To keep me holding on 
Oh, now you've got the best of me 
Come on and take the rest of me, oh baby, yeah, oh 

Oh, when 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 

[Chorus]

Oh, you to me are everything 
The sweetest song that I can sing 
Oh baby, oh baby 
To you I guess I'm just a clown, I'm just a clown 
Who picks you up each time you're down 
Oh baby, oh baby 

Oh, you to me are everything 
The sweetest song that I can sing 
Oh baby, oh baby, baby 
To you I guess I'm just a clown 
Who picks you up each time you're down 
Oh baby, baby, oh baby, oh yeah 

You to me are everything 
The sweetest song that I can sing 
Oh baby, yeah, oh baby, baby 
To you I guess I'm just a clown 
Who picks you up each time you're down 
Oh baby, you know it, oh baby, baby 

You to me are everything 
The sweetest song that I can 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
