MICK JAGGER LYRICS "God Gave My Everything" You can see it in a clear blue sky You can see it in a woman's eyes You can hear it in your baby's cries You can hear it in your lover's sighs You can touch it in a grain of sand Yeah hold it right there In the palm of your hand Feel it 'round you everyday And hear what I've got to say God gave me everything I want Come on I'll give it all to you God gave me everything I want Come on I'll give it all to you I saw it in the midnight sun And I feel it in the race I won And I hear it in the windy storm And I feel it in the icy dawn And I smell it the wine I taste And I see it in my father's face And I hear it in a symphony And I feel it in the love You show for me Yeah God gave me everything I want Oh come on I'll give it all to you God gave me everything I want Come on I'll give it all to you God gave me everything I want I can't stop can't stop I'm still looking now God gave me everything I want Oh come on I'll give it all to you Crazy you said It's all in your head [Chorus]
