Your Number or Your Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Saw your face from a window
Now I can't let it go
But I don't know your number or your name
If I only could phone you
I could say what I want to
When I'm trying to catch your eye
You're stepping out of view
It's hard to do
It's such a shame
I can't get through without your number or your name
Caught a glimpse in the subway
But you weren't going my way
You were lost in the rumble of the train
In the rush of the city
You were standing so calmly
Wish that I only had the nerve
To say hello to you
It's hard to do
It's such a shame
I can't get through without your number or your name
I'll be waiting 'til the end of time
With this burning, yearning
In my heart and in my mind
Saw you walking this morning
So I too started walking
Maybe this time will be the one
Where you will see me too
It's hard to do
It's such a shame
I can't get through without your number or your name
It's hard to do
It's such a shame
I can't get through without your number or your name
I can't get through without your number or your name
