She Is My Everything – Bill Callahan & Bonnie “Prince” Billy (feat. Sir Richard Bishop) (originally by John Prine)

She is my everything
From her suntanned shoulders
Down to the freckles on her wedding ring
Her feet so warm
She could melt the snow in the early spring
She is my everything

She goes everywhere
From Copenhagen
To making eggs and bacon down in Jackson Square
I’d like to drive a Cadillac
The color of her long hair
She goes everywhere

Kisses that come all the way from China
Kind of remind her of memories of Spain
If I get lost, you can surely find her
Standing right beside me in the rain

She uses Eveready
Batteries to keep
Her electrical appliances going steady
She can do fourteen things at once
And then her phone will ring
She is my everything

She knows everybody
From Muhammad Ali
To teaching Bruce Lee how to do Karate
She could lead a parade
While putting on her makeup in her Maserati
She knows everybody

Kisses that come all the way from China
Kind of remind her of memories of Spain
If I get lost, you can surely find her
Standing right beside me in the rain

She is my everything
When she wakes up in the morning
That’s when the birdies start to sing
When I hear her voice
I’ll tell you boys, I forget everything
She is my everything
She is my everything
