Whisper My Name

from Heat Sin Water Skin by BettySoo

/

lyrics

You lifted my chin and brushed the hair from my face
And your hand felt warm
When it slipped around my waist
I’ve never been good at learning my place
But all my thoughts escaped
When you whispered my name

When you whisper my name
When you breathe me in
When you hold me close
All the trouble I’ve seen disappears into the night
And I know the tighter I hold onto you
The more everything will become right
When you whisper my name

The stars seem to shine brighter when you’re near
And you see when I’m sad before I shed a tear
Never felt so at home in my skin ‘til you got here
And when I feel you speak, you erase my fear

When you whisper my name
When you breathe me in
When you hold me close
All the trouble I’ve seen disappears into the night
And I know the tighter I hold onto you
The more everything will become right
When you whisper my name

Thought I knew what love was long before I met you
Lived plenty of years with a heart broken in two

When you whisper my name
When you breathe me in
When you hold me close
All the trouble I’ve seen disappears into the night
And I know the tighter I hold onto you
The more everything will become right
When you whisper my name
