Charles Aznavour - The Sound Of Your Name lyrics

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
