Every Time I Hear Your Name

Finally got over that song of ours

Stopped chasin' little red sport cars

To check the license plates and backwood drivin' by your place

Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts

Honky tonks, restaurants

And seein' some of our old friends, it feels good to dance again

And I can finally smell your perfume

And not look around the room for you

And I can walk right by your picture in a frame

And not feel a thing

But when I hear your name

I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky

And it's the fifth of May and I'm right there starin' in your eyes

And nothing's changed, and we're still the same

And I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss

And I'm hangin on to every word rollin' off of your lips

That's all it takes, and 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 and you

And she talks about him every once in a while

And I just nod my head and smile

'Cause I know exactly what she's going through

Yeah, I've been there too, when the conversation turns to you

I get caught in a you were the only one for me

Kinda thought, and your face is all that I see

I know I can't go back when I still go back

And there we are, parked down by the riverside

And I'm in your arms, about to make love for the first time

And that's all it takes, and I'm in that place

Every time I hear your name

So I'm thinkin' bout words I left unsaid (Every time I hear your name)

Stop tryin' to 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

And it's the fifth of May and I'm right there starin' in your eyes

That's all it takes, and I'm in that place

And there we are, point down by the riverside

And I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time

And 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, ha

Every time I hear your name
