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
