For Everything Else I Got You

I’VE GOT YOU FOR THE GOOD AND THE BAD TIMES
AND I’VE GOT YOU FOR THE DAYS IN BETWEEN
I GOT SONGS THAT I SING, SOME I MAKE MINE
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I GOT YOU

THERE’S THE SOUND OF THE RAIN ON OUR OLD TIN ROOF
THE SCENT OF THE STUFF OF HALF-FORGOTTEN YOUTH
AND YOU CAN’T FAKE IT AND YOU KNOW THAT IT’S THE TRUTH
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I GOT YOU

AND OUR LOVE IT GROWS LIKE THAT PASSIONFRUIT VINE
THAT YOU TEND LIKE ONLY YOU DO
AND I’VE A JUKEBOX OF MEMORIES LIKE OLD WORN-OUT FORTY-FIVES
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I GOT YOU

NOW THERE ARE DARK THINGS THAT I KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE
SOMETIMES I GET THE URGE TO SET THEM FREE
BUT I’VE GOT A LITTLE FAITH THAT I KNOW ‘LL GET ME THROUGH
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I GOT YOU

AND I KEEP A LITTLE TIME PUT BY FOR REFLECTION
SOMETIMES WE ALL NEED A LITTLE SOLITUDE
AND I TRY NEVER TO JUST ACCEPT BUT STILL TO QUESTION
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I GOT YOU

OUR LOVE IT GROWS ETC.

THIS OLD WORLD IT KEEPS ON TURNING ANYWAY
AND I GUESS THE BEST A MAN CAN BE IS THE BEST HE CAN DO
IN THE END IT’LL BE OUR KIDS WITH LAST SAY
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I GOT YOU
