Fin'lly got over that song of ours; stopped chasin' little red sports cars
To check the license plates an' I QUIT DRIVIN BY YOUR PLACE.

Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts: Honky Tonks restaurants.

An' seein' some of our old friends: it feels good to dance again.

An' I can fin'lly smell your perfume an' not look around the room for you.
An' I can walk right by your picture in a frame an' not feel a thing.
But when I hear your name

I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky.

An' it's the fifth of May an' I'm right there starin' in your eyes.

An' nothin's changed an' we're still same.

An' I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss

An' I'm hangin' on to every word rollin' off of your lips:

An' that's all it takes an' 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 'bout rings; don't wanna rush into anything.

She's getting over someone too kinda like me an' you.

An' she talks about him every once in a while an' I just nod my head an' smile

'Cause I know exactly what she's goin' through: yeah I've been there too.
When the conversation turns to you

I get caught in a ＂you were the only one for me＂
Kinda thought an' your face is all that I see.

I know I can't go back but I still go back.

An' there we are parked down by the riverside

An' I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time

An' that's all it takes an' I'm in that place

Every time I hear your name.

Start thinkin' 'bout the words I left unsaid.
（Every time I hear your name.）

Stop tryin' the change the things I can't change.
（Every time I hear your name.）

In my heart I know you're gone but in my head

I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky.

An' it's the fifth of May an' I'm right there starin' in your eyes.

That's all it takes an' I'm in that place.

An' there we are parked down by the riverside

An' I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time.

An' I can't explain but I'm in that place

Every time I hear your name.

Every time I hear your name.
（Every time I hear your name.）

Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
（Every time I hear your name.）

Ah ah.

Every time I hear your name.
