Mary J. Blige - Whenever I Say Your Name lyrics

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 refuse 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
