Every Time I Hear Your Name
Finlly got over that song of ours; stopped chasin little red sports cars
To check the license plates an I QUIT DRIVIN BY YOUR PLACE.
Back makin the rounds at our old haunts: Honky Tonks restaurants.
An seein some of our old friends: it feels good to dance again.
An I can finlly smell your perfume an not look around the room for you.
An I can walk right by your picture in a frame an not feel a thing.
But when I hear your name
I feel rain fallin right out of the blue sky.
An its the fifth of May an Im right there starin in your eyes.
An nothins changed an were still same.
An I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss
An Im hangin on to every word rollin off of your lips:
An thats all it takes an Im in that place
Every time I hear your name.
Got someone special in my life : everyone thinks shed make a great wife.
Dad says he thinks shes the one: reminds him of Mom when she was young
But its way too soon to be talkin bout rings; dont wanna rush into anything .
Shes getting over someone too kinda like me an you.
An she talks about him every once in a while an I just nod my head an smile
Cause I know exactly what shes goin through: yeah Ive been there too.
When the conversation turns to you
I getcaught in a "you were the only one for me"
Kinda thought an your face is all that I see.
I know I cant go back but I still go back.
An there we are parked down by the riverside
An Im in your arms about to make love for the first time
An thats all it takes an Im in that place
Every time I hear your name.
Start thinkin bout the words I left unsaid.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Stop tryin the change the things I cant change.
(Every time I hear your name.)
In my heart I know youre gone but in my head
I feel rain fallin right out of the blue sky.
An its the fifth of May an Im right there starin in your eyes.
Thats all it takes an Im in that place.
An there we are parked down by the riverside
An Im in your arms about to make love for the first time.
An I cant explain but Im in that place
Every time I hear your name.
Every time I hear your name.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Ah ah.
Every time I hear your name.
