Title:  You’re My Everything

Artist: Santa Esmeralda

Santa Esmeralda a U.S./French Disco group formed in the 1970s, earned a #1 club hit in 1977 with a cover version of the song “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”.   Leroy Gómez was born in Wareham, Massachusetts of Cape Verdean descent.   Learning how to sing and play the saxophone, Gómez started his own band at 14, and later joined Tavares, a local group of brothers who shared his Cape Verdean heritage, and with whom he would go on to tour North America and Europe.   Essentially a studio act, Gómez was eager to perform, and a touring group was put together, including a troupe of dancers, one of whom, by the name of Tequila, would appear on several album and single cover photos and ultimately become his wife.   The flip side of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, the love ballad You’re My Everything (co-written by Gómez), became a radio request song and received much airplay, even though the song never charted.

Lyrics:  You’re my Everything

Na na na na …
You’re my everything
The sun that shines above you makes the blue bird sing
The stars that twinkle way up in the sky

Tell me I’m in love, when I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my finger tips
And all the while my head in a spin
Deep with in I’m in love

You’re my everything and nothing
Really matters but the love you bring
You’re my everything
To see you in the morning with those big brown eyes
You’re my everything
Forever and the day
I need you close to me
You’re my everything
You never have to worry never fear
For I am near when I hold you tight
there’s nothing that can harm you in the lonely night
I’ll come to you and keep you safe and warm
Yes, so strong my love

You’re my everything
I live upon the land and see the sky above
I’ll swim within oceans sweet and warm
There’s no storm my love
