What's Your Name
Christian Walz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like the sun that will steal early morning
I'm a thief in pursuit of your heart
Like a priest that will hear his calling
At first sight I knew from the start

Sitting in the spotlight of her eyes
Wondering if it's heaven in dissuise

What's your name? What's your sign?
Where in heaven have you been all my life
What's your name? What's your sign?
Where the hell do I turn out the light

I'm no flintstone, but I'll make your bed rock
There's no doubt in my mind you will come
And I promise I die when our eyes lock
And I feel like a man come undone

Sitting in the spotlight of her eyes
Wondering if it's heaven in dissuise

What's your name? What's your sign?
Where in heaven have you been all my life
What's your name? What's your sign?
Where the hell do I turn out the light

Like the sun that will steal early morning
And the kiss is a wellknown art
And the lovers will keep on recalling
And the night will put love in our hearts

What's your name? What's your sign?
Where in heaven have you been all my life
What's your name? What's your sign?
Where the hell do I turn out
Turn it out babe
What's your name? What's your sign?
Where in heaven have you been all my life
What's your name? What's your sign, baby?
Where the hell do I turn out the light
Turn out the light

Well your legs must be tired,
Beacuse you've been running through my mind all night

And you really look like an angel
So welcome to earth
