Every Time I Hear Your Name
Keith Anderson/Tom Hambridge/Jeffrey Steele (ASCAP)/(BMI)
Finally got over that song of ours
Stopped chasin' little red sports cars
To check the license plates
And I quit drivin' by your place
Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts
Honky-tonks, restaurants
Seein' some of our old friends
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
1st Chorus
I feel rain
Fallin' right outta the blue sky
And it's the 5th of May
And I'm right there starin' in your eyes
And nothing has 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 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' about rings
Don't want to rush into anything
She's getting over someone too
Kinda like me and you
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
When the conversation turns to you
2nd Chorus
I get caught in a that you were the only one for me
Kinda thought and your face is all that I see
I know can't go back but 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
That's all it takes and I'm in that place
Every time I hear your name
I start thinking 'bout the words I left unsaid
I start tryin' to change the things I can't change
In my heart I know you're gone
But in my head
3rd Chorus
I feel rain
Fallin' right outta the blue sky
And it's the 5th of May
And I'm right there starin' in your eyes
And that's all it takes and I'm in that place
There we are parked 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
