Sound Of Your Name
Charles Aznavour & Liza Minnelli Lyrics

The sound of your name comes to me any hour
Your name constantly comes to my mind, at any hour, like a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of a beautiful flower.

On wings of the wind like the scent of a flower
Your name reaches me swiftly, carried by the wind, just like the alluring scent of a delicate flower.

How can I explain? It's impossible power
I struggle to find words to describe the extraordinary and undeniable power that your name holds over me.

The sound of your name
The mere sound of your name

Is a Valentine greeting
Resembles a warm and affectionate greeting, like that of a Valentine's Day message

A bell when it rings and a heart when it's beating
Resonates within me like the melodic chime of a bell, and fills my heart with emotions, just like its rhythmic beats

And drawing a spell where all things keep repeating
Creates a kind of enchantment where everything seems to repeat itself, as if under a magical spell

The sound of your name
The very sound of your name

Your name is a song that I long to be writing
Your name is like a beautiful melody that I yearn to compose and express through words

The music is strong and the words are inviting
The melody of your name is powerful and captivating, and the lyrics it evokes are enticing and compelling

Exchangeable melodies strangely exciting
The melodies that can be created from your name are interchangeable, with each one bringing a thrilling and unique sensation

I found in your name
Within your name, I discovered

The sound of your name can bring times of desire
The sound of your name has the ability to evoke intense moments of longing and passion

That flares like a flame as it climbs ever higher
These emotions surge and intensify like a blazing flame, growing higher and more powerful

That burns in my senses and turns them to fire
They consume my senses, igniting a fiery passion within me

The sound of your name
The mere sound of your name

But love is a game that continuously changes
Love, much like a game, is ever-changing and unpredictable

The players, discoveries and the dangers
It involves different individuals, new revelations, and potential risks

We started as lovers, we ended as strangers
Our journey began as lovers, but ultimately we became distant and unfamiliar to each other

Now where can I turn?
Now, I find myself lost and unsure of where to seek guidance or solace

Your name's the ghost of a chance that you gave me
Your name represents the faint hope that you once offered me

A grave little dance just enough to enslave me
A solemn and yet captivating dance, which had just enough power to captivate and imprison my heart

And only my grief, what is there that can save me
In the midst of my sorrow, I wonder if there is anything that can rescue me from this emotional turmoil

If you don't return?
If you don't come back to me?

At night in my dreams you are there, an obsession
During the night, you haunt my dreams and become an all-consuming obsession

I whisper your name like a prayer, a confession
I softly utter your name, treating it like a sacred prayer and a heartfelt confession

You've entered my soul and you've taken possession
You have entered the depths of my soul and claimed full ownership over it

And whom can I blame?
And to whom can I assign the blame for this overwhelming state of emotions?

For you are the Heaven on Earth that I sigh for
Because you are the embodiment of heavenly bliss on Earth, that I yearn for and deeply long for

The high unattainable moon that I cry for
You are like the distant, unattainable moon that I shed tears for, in a mixture of longing and sadness

As long as I live, I will live and I'll die for
For as long as I exist, I will continue to live for you, and even in death, my devotion to you will endure

The sound of your name
The very sound of your name
