When You Call My Name Songtext
von The Skatalites

I didn′t choose the day that I was born
And I don't get to say when I′ll die
And I didn't know if I'd ever fall in love
Or feel the warm light in your smile

I don′t know why but I hear music in the rain
See the sunlight in my brain
Getting brighter as the clouds are lifting
Why it is I wake up every day
Knowing everything′s okay
Just as long as I can hear you call my name?

Nobody feels the way I feel
And no one gets to see with my eyes
I didn't get the world in the palm of my hand
And I don′t get to see the eagles fly


I don't know why but I hear music in the rain
See the sunlight in my brain
Getting brighter as the clouds are lifting
Why it is I wake up every day
Knowing everything′s okay
Just as long as I can hear you call my name?

I don't know why but I hear music in the rain
See the sunlight in my brain
Getting brighter as the clouds are lifting
Why it is I wake up everyday
Knowing everything′s okay
Just as long as I can hear you call my name?

If I could be anyone at all
A wise man of the world or the ruler of my destiny
I still believe that I'd rather be right here
Just you and me living for the mystery
