The Way You Say My Name

(Verse 1)
It’s not the words, it’s how they fall
Soft and slow, like a midnight call
When you whisper low, I lose my shame
There’s magic in the way you say my name
(Verse 2)
Like a breeze through southern pines
You make even silence feel like rhymes
No need for grand or loud acclaim
You melt my heart just sayin’ my name
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve heard it from strangers, cold and plain
But yours wraps ‘round me like summer rain
(Chorus)
The way you say my name, like it’s a song
Like I’ve been yours all along
In your voice, I find my peace
Every worry starts to cease
You could call me at midnight or noon
And I’d still fall again, like the first monsoon
It’s not the word, it’s not the fame
It’s the way… the way you say my name
(Verse 3)
You say it soft when I need grace
You shout it proud in a crowded place
Even when we fight or fall apart
Your voice still finds its way to my heart
(Pre-Chorus)
I could lose everything, fortune or fame
As long as you still say my name
(Chorus)
The way you say my name, like a vow
Like the world stands still somehow
Every syllable you breathe
Is a promise I believe
Call me darling, call me slow
Say it gently, let it flow
It’s not the word, it’s not the fame
It’s the way… the way you say my name
