Sting & Police - Whenever I Say Your Name lyrics

rate me

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face

Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste

Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole

Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep

Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep

Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way

I'm calling out your name

Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon

Whenever this world has gotten so strange

I know that something's gonna change

Something's gonna change

Whenever I say your name, Whenever I say your name, I'm already praying, I'm already praying

I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep

Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep

Whenever I'm on the floor

Whatever it was that I believed before

Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever this world has got me down, whenever I shed a tear

Whenever the TV makes me mad, whenever I'm paralyzed with fear

Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever I lose the reason why

Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Whenever the sun refuse to shine, whenever the skies are pouring rain

Whatever I lost I thought was mine whenever I close my eyes in pain

Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way

I'm calling out your name

Whenever this dark begins to fall

Whenever I'm vulnerable and small

Whenever I feel like I could die

Whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face

I'm already praying

Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep

Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep

Whenever I'm on the floor

Whatever it was that I believed before

Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever I say your name,

No matter how long it takes,

One day we'll be together

Whenever I say your name,

let there be no mistake

that day will last forever
