Every Time I Hear Your Name- Keith Anderson
Finally got over that song of ours; stopped chasin little red sports cars,
To check the license plates and back wood drivin by your place.
Back makin the rounds at our old haunts: Honky Tonk, 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 nothin's changed, and we're still 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:
And 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 goin through: yeah, I've been there too.
And 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, a point 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 the words I left unsaid.
Stop tryin the change the things I can't change.
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, a 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.
