To lead a better life, I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can, deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere, and if she's beside me I know I'd need never care
But to love her is to need her 

Everywhere, knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes, and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere, and if she's beside me I know I'd need never care
But to love her is to need her 

Everywhere, knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes, and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere Here, there and everywhere
