Everyone But You and Me

[Verse 1: Mac Davis]

It's an open window evening

There's a honey suckle breeze

Blowin' milky moonlight all around the room

And the mournin' doves are singin' in the old magnolia trees

The air is full of songs and sweet perfume

Far across the river, there's a million lights aglow

And a million stars are dancin' over here

But here in our own little world, it's cold enough to slow

And an icy silence hangs above our bed

[Chorus: Mac Davis & Dolly Parton, Mac Davis]

I wonder how many people are cherishing this moment

Makin' love and makin' dreams come true

I wonder how many lovers are all wrapped up in each other

Everyone but me and you

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]

Silky shadows on the ceiling

Bring back misty memories

Of days gone by when you and I were friends

And I can't escape the feelings

Just can't put my mind at ease

I'd give anything to have us back again

'Cause nights like this are special gifts from someone up above

And to let 'em just pass by us is a crime

Yet we lay here in silence while the world is makin' love

It's a shameless waste of heaven's precious time

[Chorus: Dolly Parton & Mac Davis, Dolly Parton]

I wonder how many people are cherishing this moment

Makin' love and makin' dreams come true

I wonder how many lovers are all wrapped up in each other

Everyone but me and you

[Bridge: Mac Davis & Dolly Parton]

I lay here listenin' to you breathin'

Your eyes are closed, but you're awake

I lay here starin' at the ceiling

It's almost more than I can take

[Chorus: Mac Davis & Dolly Parton, Mac Davis]

I wonder how many people are cherishing this moment

Makin' love and makin' dreams come true

I wonder how many lovers are all wrapped up in each other

Everyone but me and you

[Outro: Dolly Parton, Spoken]

Everyone but me and you
