When I Hear You Say My Name
Erik Segerstedt · A Different Shade [2007]
Sun up sun down the same old same
What was I doing it for?
Now I've got so much more
I feel it when you say my name
Baby I just got to let you know
What I'm feeling inside I can't deny
Now there ain't no doubt about it
This is real and I wanna shout it
It's a miracle inside of me
When I hear you say my name
All the lights come on
And the music starts to play
I can't help but sing along
Liek a flower to the flame
I'm burning in your arms
When the world is cold and grey
You know it makes me strong
When I hear you say my name
Tell me is there anything you need
Me, I got everything in you
You're more than beautiful
Love can be true after all
And I know I'll always find my way
When I hear you say my name
All the ligths come on
And the music starts to play
I can't help but sing along
Like a flower to the flame
I'm burning in your arms
When the world seems cold and grey
It makes me strong
When I hear you say my name
I just know that I want to
Let go and when I'm by your side
Everyday is an easy ride
And all I wanna say
I would go out of my way
to hear you talk to me
and whisper baby please
When I hear you say my name
All the lights come on
When the world seems cold and grey
When I hear you say my name
When I hear you say my name
All the lights come on
And the music starts to play
I can't help but sing along
Liek a flower to the flame
I'm burning in your arms
When the world is cold and grey
You know it makes me strong
When I hear you say my name
When I hear you say my name
All the lights come on
And the music starts to play
I can't help but sing along
Liek a flower to the flame
I'm burning in your arms
When the world is cold and grey
You know it makes me strong
When I hear you say my name
