The Sound Of Your Name - Charles Aznavour, Liza Minnelli

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?

It’s impossible power

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

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 flame as it climbs ever higher

That burns in my senses and turns them to fire

The sound of your name

But love is a game that continuously changes

The players, discoveries and the dangers

We started as lovers, we ended as strangers

Now where can I turn?

Your name’s the ghost of a chance that you gave me

A grave little dance just enough to enslave me

And only my grief, what is there that can save me

If you don’t return?

At night in my dreams you are there, an obsession

I whisper your name like a prayer, a confession

You’ve entered my soul and you’ve taken possession

And whom 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
