Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts. Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five.

Everything Good Lyrics

Richard Marx

Onward I always say
These things happen everyday
I should be able to smile by now
But I don't remember how

Chorus:
With you went warmth in summer
All of the stars in the sky
With you went perfect sunsets
Sleeping my way through the night
Yeah with you went
Everything good in this world

Desperate for your touch
I haven't been needing much
Why let the music play?
I can't hear it anyway

Chorus:
'Cause with you went
The scent of flowers
Don't they just die anyway?
And with you went
All the rainbows
Now when it rains it's just gray
Yeah, with you went
Everything good in this world

And I thought of doing something rash
In the hopes of making you feel bad
But it seems that it's always me that ends up cryin'

Chorus:
With you went
All the rainbows
Now when it rains it's just gray
Ah, with you went
Everything good

Everything good
In my world
