Nothing Else Matter was written by James Hetfield while he was on the phone with his girlfriend at this time and the lyrics were dedicated obviously to her. At first, Nothing Else Matters wasn't meant to go on the Black Album but Ulrich added some music and there you go, simply one of the very best metal ballad songs ever written. Trivia: This is one of the few Metallica songs where James Hetfield played the guitar solo rather than Kirk Hammett.
Composer: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich }{ Year: 1991

Lyrics:
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
