My Heart Still Calls Your Name (v2)

[Intro]

Oh-oh…

Jean Claude Smith…

My heart is crying tonight…

Since you went away,

I don't know how to love again…

[Verse 1]

I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul,

I thought your love would never let me go.

Every promise you made, I believed was true,

Now every lonely night reminds me of you.

I remember your smile,

I remember your eyes,

I remember the way

You made me feel alive.

Now I'm standing here alone,

Trying to hide my tears,

But the room keeps your perfume,

And your voice is all I hear.

[Pre-Chorus]

I fold your old letter by the bedside lamp,

Count every word like a photograph.

If love can travel where the lost hearts roam,

Then send me one sign that you're coming home.

[Chorus]

My heart still calls your name,

Through every quiet room, through every falling rain.

I tried to let you go, but I don't know how to change,

Jean Claude Smith, my heart still calls your name.

My heart still calls your name,

Even when I smile, the ache remains the same.

If you can hear me now, please don't stay far away,

Jean Claude Smith, my heart still calls your name.

[Verse 2]

Your coffee cup is waiting on the kitchen shelf,

I reach for it before I remember I'm by myself.

The train rolls past the window, carrying the day,

But nothing in this house can carry you away.

I learned the shape of silence,

I learned the weight of time,

But every road I wander

Still bends back to your side.

[Pre-Chorus]

I keep your worn blue sweater in a cedar drawer,

Some things you leave behind still feel like before.

If love can travel where the lost hearts roam,

Then send me one sign that you're coming home.

[Chorus]

My heart still calls your name,

Through every quiet room, through every falling rain.

I tried to let you go, but I don't know how to change,

Jean Claude Smith, my heart still calls your name.

My heart still calls your name,

Maybe somewhere past the harbor,

You are looking at the sea.

Maybe all the roads between us

Still remember you and me.

I would trade these empty mornings,

I would trade this pride and pain,

For one chance to hold you closer,

For one chance to say your name.

[Final Chorus]

My heart still calls your name,

Louder than the distance, stronger than the pain.

I tried to let you go, but you live inside my veins,

Jean Claude Smith, my heart still calls your name.

My heart still calls your name,

Till the last room empties and the seasons change.

If you can hear me now, please don't stay far away,

Jean Claude Smith, my heart still calls your name.

[Outro]

Oh-oh…

Jean Claude Smith…

My heart is crying tonight…

Since you went away,

I still love you just the same…
