Story Behind The Song
John Roles, my co-writer, and I couldn't come to an agreement on the lyrics so the song sat for a couple of years in limbo. I saw a posting on Broadjam for a car commercial that wanted a love song and finally finished the lyrics inspired by that. But it really is something that could be used as a wedding song or to deliver a message of the universality of love.
Song Description
This song started out to emulate Because by the Beatles but turned out there were too many lyrics necessary for such broad strokes lyric wise. It became more a song about the scope of love - from the microscopic things to the universal themes - between two people.

Lyrics
Love Is Everything
Love is everything
We thought it would be
The two of us together
It's you and it's me
A word that lasts forever
And each moment in between
It's only love
But love is everything
Love is like an ocean
We're over our heads
It's everything we dreamed of
It's all that they said
And when you say I want you
You say it just for me
It's only love
But love is everything
It's in your eyes
In every smile
And every breath
It's in my heart
It's all I have
To give to you
And when you say I want you
You say it just for me
It's only love
But love is everything
So put your arms around me
And feel the breeze
Listen as it whispers
And sings through the trees
A word that says forever
Sing along and you'll be free
It's only love
But love is everything
It's only love
But love is everything
It's only love
But love is everything
