When your countenance I behold,
Nothing else counts.

When I’m with you,
I take zero notice of those stars;
in the sky above us.
‘Cause you mean everything,
And everything you mean.
All distractions to.mute;
when I’m with you my love,
Nothing else counts.

The tastiest cupcakes;
can’t take the place of you.
The scariest stakes;
can’t inhibit my love for you.

When I’m with you;
nothing else counts.
Even the most enticing offer;
can’t charm my heart.
‘Cause with you...
nothing else counts.

The sweetest chocolate;
can’t taste as good as you.
‘Cause with you...
nothing else counts.

Luxurious cars, huge cash;
wouldn’t catch my fancy.
You take all of me;
the extreme I can’t describe.
‘Cause when I’m with you...
nothing else counts.

With you, nothing else counts.
Neither Ethiopian beauty;
nor the finest art of Egypt;
could sway my heart.
‘Cause with you...
nothing else counts.

With you, I found strength;
vehement, enormous, colossal;
to fight any mercenary of death.
Yeah!
Your fire keeps me warm.
And nothing else counts.

What’s the name of the fire;
that can burn my feelings away?
Tell me the name of the river;
that can drown the weight of my love.
Especially, when I’m with you...
nothing else counts.
