When You Call My Name
Paul Brandt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To try and explain it
And how it has changed
The man that I am
Life has a way
When you try to arrange it
Of makin' a fool
Guess what I'm tryin' to say
Is you took me by surprise
One word is all that it takes
And forever's on my mind
It happens everytime
I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin' round
Like I'm on Holy Ground
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burning with my desire
Stronger deeper higher
When you call my name
The way that it moves me
It's simply amazing
Yeah somehow it seems
Much bigger than words
When you call my name
Angels start singing
The most beautiful sound
That I've ever heard
And it starts all over again
This feeling deep inside
A blessed chain of events
A heaven sent desire
It happens everytime
I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin' round
Like I'm on Holy Ground
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burning with my desire
Stronger deeper higher
When you call my name
When you call my name
Ahh
When you call my name
Ooh
It happens everytime
I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin' round
Like I'm on Holy Ground
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burning with my desire
Stronger deeper higher
When you call my name
I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin' round
Like I'm on Holy Ground
(call my name)
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burning with my desire
Stronger deeper higher
When you call my name

Give me a moment
Please wait while I attempt to explain what I feel
To try and explain it
I will do my best to articulate my thoughts
And how it has changed
What I feel has had a large impact on my life
The man that I am
My personality and behavior have been altered
Life has a way
The passage of time often affects us in strange ways
When you try to arrange it
Even when we attempt to control our lives
Of makin' a fool
It can end up making us appear foolish
Of the best laid plans
Even when we have everything figured out
Guess what I'm tryin' to say
My point is
Is you took me by surprise
You caught me off guard
One word is all that it takes
Your influence on me is significant
And forever's on my mind
I think about you constantly
It happens every time
This event is not unique
I hear the sweetest sound
Your voice is the most pleasant noise I know
My world stops turnin' round
Everything else fades away when I hear it
Like I'm on Holy Ground
It feels sacred and special
It sets the sky on fire
Your presence ignites a passion in me
Burning with my desire
My longing for you increases
Stronger deeper higher
My feelings grow in intensity
When you call my name
The mere sound of you addressing me has a powerful effect
The way that it moves me
What I feel is overwhelming and emotional
It's simply amazing
I can't believe how much I am affected
Yeah somehow it seems
Inexplicably
Much bigger than words
My feelings can't be described
Angels start singing
A heavenly choir seems to accompany your voice
The most beautiful sound
It's the loveliest noise I've ever heard
That I've ever heard
I can't believe how wonderful it is
And it starts all over again
This cycle of feeling repeats every time
This feeling deep inside
It's a powerful emotion that comes from the depths of me
A blessed chain of events
I feel fortunate to have experienced this
A heaven sent desire
What I feel is a gift from above
(call my name)
Asking for you to address me
Ahh
Expressing intense pleasure or satisfaction
Ooh
Expressing wonder and excitement
