Sound of Your Name
Charles Aznavour
The sound of your name comes to me any hour On wings of the wind like the scent of a flower How can I explain its impossible power The sound of your name The sound of your name is a Valentine greeting A bell when it rings and a heart when it's beating And drawing a spell where all things keep repeating The sound of your name Your name is a song that I long to be writing The music is strong and the words are inviting Exchangeable melodies strangely exciting I found in your name The sound of your name can bring times of desire That flares like a flame as it climbs ever higher That burns in my senses and turns them to fire The sound of your name But love is a game that continuously changes The player discovers the risk and the dangers We started as lovers we ended as strangers Now where can I turn? Your name's the ghost of a chance that you gave me A grave little dance just enough to enslave me And only my grief what is there that can save me If you don't return At night in my dreams you are there an obsession I whisper your name like a prayer a confession You've entered my soul and you've taken possession And whom can I blame? For you are the heaven on earth that I sigh for The high unattainable moon that I cry for As long as I live I will live and I'll die for The sound of your name Your name your name Your name your na-a-a-ame
