VERSE 1:
With the sweet drip of every raindrop
Time brings you closer to me
And with each new sign at every train-stop
Another hour without you is consigned to history
And with each tick of my alarm clock
I get crazy for the days to get to you
When I can hold you and kiss you and have you
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
PRE-CHORUS:
But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
INTRO
VERSE 2:
So this morning I picked up the paper
In the useless descent of the rain
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
Lie and cheat just the same
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
Love can't save you now
As each little motion of my writswatch
Holds up my faith somehow
PRE-CHORUS:
But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
BRIDGE:
When I've used up all my patience
When your letters have been read twenty times through
I can drink all the wine in this place of mine
But it ain't no replacement, it ain't no replacement for
you.................
CHORUS:
'Cause honey sometimes I just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say)
You know I only have to say your name....ooooh
OUTRO:
hooo... Oooh hooo.. You know I
Only have to say your name I only have to say your name
I only have to say your name, say your name, say your name,
Oooh yay yah...ay yah, ooooh ay yah, I only have, only have to
say your name, say your name, say your name, Wah wah wah wah wah
Whoa yah, whoa yah, whoa yah I only have to
say-ayayay your name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name
Em7 F#m7 (fade out)
name, name, name, name Yah yah, yeah yah yah (etc.)
