Whenever I say your name Whenever I call to mind your face Whatever bread's in my mouth Whatever the sweetest wine that I taste Whenever your memory feeds my soul Whatever got broken becomes whole Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together Wherever I lay me down Wherever I put my head to sleep Whenever I hurt and cry Whenever I got to lie awake and weep Whenever I kneel to pray Whenever I need to find a way I'm calling out your name Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon Whenever this world has gotten so strange I know that something's gonna change Something's gonna change Whenever I say your name Whenever I say your name I'm already praying, I'm already praying I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain Wherever I lay me down Wherever I rest my weary head to sleep Whenever I hurt and cry Whenever I got to lie awake and weep Whenever I'm on the floor Whatever it was that I believed before Whenever I say your name Whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying Whenever this world has got me down Whenever I shed a tear Whenever the TV makes me mad Whenever I'm paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky Whenever I lose the reason why Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together Whenever the sun refuses to shine Whenever the skies are pouring rain Whatever I lost I thought was mine Whenever I close my eyes in pain Whenever I kneel to pray Whenever I need to find a way I'm calling out your name Whenever this dark begins to fall Whenever I'm vulnerable and small Whenever I feel like I could die Whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry Whenever I say your name Whenever I call to mind your face, I'm already praying Whatever bread's in my mouth Whatever the sweetest wine that I taste Wherever I lay me down Wherever I rest my weary head to sleep Whenever I hurt and cry Whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep Whenever I'm on the floor Whatever it was that I believed before Whenever I say your name Whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying Whenever I say your name No matter how long it takes One day we'll be together Whenever I say your name Let there be no mistake That day will last forever
