Tell Me Your Name
Christian Bautista Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me your name you're lovely
Please tell me your name
Just when i thought this could one of those boring games
You walked into this feelings
You looked at me and smiled
My heart unfroze and started going wild

Can you imagine this
The confusion of first love's kiss
A return to wondering
If the magic of love was this
You merely said "hello"
And my mind did a stop and go

Can it possibly be the future for me is you

Tell me your name i must know
Won't you tell me your name
I'm not insane
Just frightened that you might go
Don't go please stay beside me
And wait 'till i can tell you all my schemes




Chasing rainbows spinning dreams
Finding someone to love like you...
