The sound of your name comes to me any hour

On wings of the wind, like the scent of a flower

How can I explain, its impossible power
Am Am6 Am7 Am(maj7)
The sound of your name

The sound of your name is a Valentine greeting

A bell when it rings and a heart when it's beating

And drawing a spell where all things keep repeating

The sound of your name

Exchangeable melodies strangely exciting

If you don't return

At night in my dreams you are there, an obsession
