Lyrics: Everytime I Hear Your Name

Fin'lly got over that song of ours; stopped chasin' little red sports cars
To check the license plates an' back wood 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 fin'lly 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' it's the fifth of May, an' I'm right there starin' in your eyes
An' nothin's changed, an' we're still same
An' I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss
An' I'm hangin' on to every word rollin' off of your lips
An' that's all it takes, an' I'm in that place
Every time I hear your name

Got someone special in my life: everyone thinks she'd make a great wife
Dad says he thinks she's the one: reminds him of Mom when she was young
But it's way too soon to be talkin 'bout rings; don't wanna rush into anything
She's 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 she's goin' through: yeah, I've been there too

An' when the conversation turns to you
I get caught in a "you were the only one for me"
Kinda thought, an' your face is all that I see
I know I can't go back when I still go back
An' there we are, a point down by the riverside
An' I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time
An' that's all it takes, an' I'm in that place
Every time I hear your name

So I'm thinkin' 'bout the words I left unsaid
(Every time I hear your name)
Stop tryin' the change the things I can't change
(Every time I hear your name)
In my heart I know you're gone, but in my head

I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky
An' it's the fifth of May, an' I'm right there starin' in your eyes
That's all it takes, an' I'm in that place
An' there we are, a point down by the riverside
An' I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time
An' I can't explain, but I'm 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
