I'm in love with you, you silly thing
Anyone can see
What is it with you, you silly thing
Just take it from me

It was not a chance meeting
Feel my heart beating
You're the one

You could take all this, take it away
I'd still have it all
'Cause I've climbed the tree of life
And that is why, no longer scared if I fall

When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
'Cause, you're the one

Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
Nothing fails

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved
Makes me wanna pray
Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religious
But I feel such love
Makes me want to pray

When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
'Cause you're the one

I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
I'm not religious
Makes me wanna pray
I'm not religious (I'm not religious)
But I feel so moved (But I feel so moved)
Makes me wanna pray (But I feel so moved)
Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religious (I'm not religious)
But I feel such love
Makes me wanna pray

I'm not religious (But it makes me wanna play)
But I feel so moved
I'm not religious (But it makes me wanna play)
Makes me wanna pray (Makes wanna play)

I'm not religious
But I feel so moved (Makes me wanna)
I'm not religious
Makes me wanna pray (Makes me wanna)

Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails

    Song Meaning

    Very Sad, Moving and Heartfelt Country/Rock ballad-Nothing Fails it is named and just like Like a Prayer, Don't Tell Me and Falling Free, the song cries about the unrequited love Madonna had for and with Guy Ritchie and why it ended so sadly. Even with the optimistic message "I'm not religious/But I Feel moved and loved/It makes me want to pray that you'll always be here!/Nothing Fails!" Except that Guy wasn't there for Madonna when she needed him most and that makes Nothing Fails poignant, sad and heartbreaking. Taylor Swift may have written her first hit Teardrops on My Guitar but here, Madonna means because along with her sad and beautiful voice, her black acoustic guitar is equally sad! I was moved and touched when Madonna sang and played Nothing Fails during the Reinvention Tour but for now, Nothing Fails is too sad and harrowing to sing and cry. (Perhaps that's why she's not playing it during MDNA?) Nothing Fails-a beautiful song about a friendship too desperate and beautiful to last. One of the Saddest Madonna ballads I've heard-but Madonna can always sing it to her audience who loves her!
