'You Mean Everything to Me'
Style: 1960s Soul Ballad Duet
Key: G Major | Tempo: 78 BPM | Mood: Soulful, Intimate, Uplifting
*Intro – 00:00*
Chords: | G | Em | C | D |
Hammond Organ, light percussion
[G] Mmm, the night begins to softly breathe
[Em] Your name drifts gently through the trees
[C] I feel your love in every tone
[D] You mean everything to me alone
*Verse 1 – 00:36*
Chords: | G | Em | C | D |
[G] When the daylight starts to fade away
[Em] And the colors melt to shades of gray
[C] I’ll be the warmth inside your soul
[D] I’ll lift you up, I’ll make you whole
[G] Every whisper, every plea
[Em] You mean everything to me
[C] Through the fire, through the pain
[D] My heart beats your name again
*Chorus – 01:12*
Chords: | G | D | Em | C |
[G] Darling, you and I, we shine so bright
[D] Holding close through endless night
[Em] Every dream, every melody
[C] You mean everything to me
[G] No shadow deep, no ocean wide
[D] Could pull our hearts apart in time
[Em] Together always, wild and free
[C] You mean everything to me
*Verse 2 – 01:49*
Chords: | G | Em | C | D |
[G] When the morning light begins to rise
[Em] I’ll find the truth inside your eyes
[C] Every word, every tender sound
[D] Keeps my heart spinning round and round
[G] If ever doubt should come to be
[Em] You mean everything to me
[C] Through the laughter, through the tears
[D] I’ll hold your love across the years
*Chorus – 02:24*
Chords: | G | D | Em | C |
[G] Darling, you and I, we shine so bright
[D] Holding close through endless night
[Em] Every dream, every melody
[C] You mean everything to me
[G] When the world turns cold and blue
[D] I’ll give my every breath for you
[Em] Forever strong, eternally
[C] You mean everything to me
*Bridge – 02:59*
Chords: | Em | D | C | D |
[Em] If the stars forget to glow
[D] Still my heart will let you know
[C] Every beat, each gentle plea
[D] You mean everything to me
[Em] Love so deep, so wild, so true
[D] My world begins and ends with you
*Guitar Solo 1 – 03:30*
Chords: | G | Em | C | D |
Instrumentation: Soulful electric guitar solo, Hammond swells, soft background “oohs”
Lengthened phrasing with bluesy bends and melodic call-and-response lines
*Chorus – 03:58*
Chords: | G | D | Em | C |
[G] Darling, you and I, we shine so bright
[D] Holding close through endless night
[Em] Every dream, every melody
[C] You mean everything to me
[G] Through the silence, through the rain
[D] Love will heal all our pain
[Em] Never doubt what’s meant to be
[C] You mean everything to me
*Guitar Solo 2 – 04:34*

[G] Mmm, when the night falls quietly
[Em] Your love’s the only light I see
[C] I’ll hold you close, eternally
[D] You mean everything to me
Piano + Guitar fade, gentle organ swell
