Keith Anderson – Every Time I Hear Your Name

Every Time I Hear Your Name

Keith Anderson/Tom Hambridge/Jeffrey Steele (ASCAP)/(BMI)

Finally got over that song of ours

Stopped chasin’ little red sports cars

To check the license plates

And I quit drivin’ by your place

Back makin’ the rounds at our old haunts

Honky-tonks, restaurants

Seein’ some of our old friends

Feels good to dance again

And I can finally smell your perfume

And not look around the room for you

And I can walk right by your picture in a frame

And not feel a thing but when I hear your name

1st Chorus

I feel rain

Fallin’ right outta the blue sky

And it’s the 5th of May

And I’m right there starin’ in your eyes

And nothing has changed and we’re still the same

And I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss

And I’m hangin’ on to every word rollin’ off your lips

That’s all it takes and I’m in that place

Every time I hear your name

Got someone special in my life

Everyone thinks she’d make a great wife

Dad says he thinks she’s the one

Reminds him of mom when she was young

But it’s way too soon to be talkin’ about rings

Don’t want to rush into anything

She’s getting over someone too

Kinda like me and you

She talks about him every once in a while

And I just nod my head and smile

‘Cause I know exactly what she’s goin’ through

Yeah, I’ve been there too

When the conversation turns to you

2nd Chorus

I get caught in a that you were the only one for me

Kinda thought and your face is all that I see

I know can’t go back but I still go back

And there we are parked down by the riverside

And I’m in your arms about to make love for the first time

That’s all it takes and I’m in that place

Every time I hear your name

I start thinking ’bout the words I left unsaid

I start tryin’ to change the things I can’t change

In my heart I know you’re gone

But in my head

3rd Chorus

I feel rain

Fallin’ right outta the blue sky

And it’s the 5th of May

And I’m right there starin’ in your eyes

And that’s all it takes and I’m in that place

There we are parked down by the riverside

And I’m in your arms about to make love for the first time

And I can’t explain but I’m in that place

Every time I hear your name
