Rhett Akins More Than Everything Music Video
“More Than Everything” Lyrics
Long before the first beats of our hearts
Some how someone knew
That you belong here in my arms
And that I’ve got you girl, I’m amazed everyday
How you make my life complete in every way
But when I start to question
Just how on earth you found me
All I really do is stop and look around me
He chose the rivers where to run
Struck the match that lit the sun
He writes the songs the birds sing
Makes the flowers bloom in spring
But of all the things he’s done
He made me for you
And you for me
And that is more than everything
Long before the first beats of our hearts
Some how someone knew
That you belong here in my arms
And that I’ve got you girl, I’m amazed everyday
How you make my life complete in every way
But when I start to question
Just how on earth you found me
All I really do is stop and look around me
My hearts telling me each time we touch
This love has always been bigger then both of us
As I look in your eyes darlin’ now there is no doubt
I know you’re the one thing I could never live without
I’m forever thankful for all the gifts in my life
And I feel there is someone smiling down on us tonight
He chose the rivers where to run
Struck the match that lit the sun
He writes the songs the birds sing
Makes the flowers bloom in spring
But of all the things he’s done
He made me for you
And you for me
And that is more than everything
