When You Say My Name
The world is loud,
a rushing crowd of sound
But everything fades
when you turn around
Your voice is quiet,
a soft and sudden spark
Like a single candle
lighting up the dark
I hold my breath,
the silence starts to grow
Waiting for the sweetest sound I know (aaah)
When you say
my
name
Every shadow drifts away
My heart forgets its quiet fear
And blossoms when you are near Oh,
when you say
my
name (ooh)
I’ve heard it spoken
a thousand different ways
Just a simple word
to fill the passing days
But on your lips,
it sounds like something new
A sacred melody,
a promise true
When you say
my name
Every shadow drifts away
My heart forgets its quiet fear
And blossoms when you are near Oh,
when you say
my name (ooh)
When you say
my name...
It sounds like home (hmmmmm)
