Sound Of Your Name

Sound Of Your Name
((French Version: Ton Nom (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Herbert Kretzmer - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour & Liza Minnelli



The sound of your name comes to me any hour
On the wings of the wind, like the scent of a flower
How can I explain its impossible power
The sound of your name

The sound of your name is a valentine greeting
A dare when it rings and a heart when it's beating
And alone in a cell where all things keep repeating
The sound of your name

Your name is a song that I long to be writing
The music is strong and the words are inviting
Exchangeable melodies, strangely exciting
I found in your name

The sound of your name can bring times of desire
That flares like a plane as it climbs ever higher
That burns in my senses and turns then to fire
The sound of your name

But love is a game that can't easily change
The players discover the risk and the dangers
We started as lovers, we ended as strangers
Now where can I turn

Your name is the ghost of a chance that you gave me
That original day, just enough when plainly
And only my grief, what is there that can tame me
If you don't return

As night in my dreams you are there, an obsession
I whisper your name, I expel a confession
You've entered my soul and you've taken possession
And who can I blame

For you are the heaven on earth that I sigh for
The high unattainable moon that I cry for
As long as I live, I will live and I'll die for
The sound of your name
