If Love Whispers Your Name

Richard Thompson · Other Songs - Richard Thompson

Next time I promise

I will be ready

Ready to move when the clouds roll apart

Next time I promise

I will do better

When the sun shines on me and pierces my heart



If love whispers your name

Breathes in your ear

Sighs in the rain

Love is worth every fall

Even to beg

Even to crawl



I won't act so cool

I Won't be the fool

Next time

And I won't quote the law

Won't be so sure

Next time



'Cause I once had it all and

I once lost it all and

I won't miss again

If the chance should come my way

If love should look my way



If love whispers your name

Breathes in your ear

Sighs in the rain

Love is worth every fall

Even to beg

Even to crawl



I won't act so cool

I Won't be the fool

Next time

And I won't quote the law

Won't be so sure

Next time



'Cause I once had it all and

I once lost it all and

I won't miss again

If the chance should come my way

If love should look my way



If love whispers your name

Breathes in your ear

Sighs in the rain

Love is worth every fall

Even to beg

Even to crawl



Love is worth every wound

Each lonely day,

Each sleepless night

Love is worth every wound

The price that you pay

To live in the light
