Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
He walked like you do, I thought it was you
As he turned the corner, I called out your name
I felt so ashamed 'cause it wasn't you, wasn't you

You are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you

How can I forget when each face that I see
Brings back memories of being with you?
I just can't go on living life as I do
Comparing each one with you
'Cause they just won't do, they're not you

You are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
