Whenever I Say Your Name with Mary J. Blige Songtext
von Sting

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 going to change
Something's going to 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 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
(We will be together)
Whenever I say your name
I say when I hurt and cry
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever
Whenever I say your name
(Whenever I say your name)
(Jeah)
No matter how long it takes
One day we′ll be together
(One day we'll be together)
Whenever I say your name
Whenever
Whenever I say it loud
Let there be no mistake
No matter what'll happen
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say your name
No matter how long it takes
Whenever I say your name...
Whenever I say it loud
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever
Whenever I say your name...
