Call My 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.
Call, call my name
Call it, call my name
I heard your voice this morning calling out my name
It had been so long since I heard it
That it didn't sound quite the same, no
But it let me know that my name had never really been spoken before
Before the day I carried you through the bridal path door
And ever since that day I haven't wanted anyone but you
And anybody who really knows me knows the truth
I just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
If I don't see you real soon, baby girl
I might go insane
I know it's only been about 3 hours
But I love it when you call my name
I heard a voice on the news saying people want to stop the war
If they had a love as sweet as you
They'd forget what they were fighting for
What's the matter with the world today?
The land of the free? Somebody lied
They can bug my phone and people 'round my home
They'll only see you and me making love inside
I just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
If I don't see you real soon, baby girl
I might go insane
I know it's only been about 3 hours
But I love it when you call my name
I've never seen the moon look so lovely
As the night I saw it with you
It let me know I'd never seen the moon before
So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws
But to compare it to a beauty like yours would giv real
God forbid if you belonged to another I'd have to se one pause
Nothing about you is false, that's why your love isteal you
I'd have to take you from your man
I might be tempted to break the law round here
Because your beauty, it gives one pause
It slows me down
I just can't stop writing songs about you
I love you so much
I just can't wait to get my arms around you
And feel your touch
If I don't see you real soon, baby girl
I might go insane
I know it's only been about 3 hours
But I love it when you call my name
