Original Broadway Cast of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
To Hear You Say My Name
[Tom, spoken]
Say that again

[Becky, spoken]
Say what?

[Tom, spoken]
My name

[Becky, spoken]
Tom

[Tom]
It's one word I've heard more than any other
What's dif'rent about now, I can't explain
It makes me feel like I've just been discovered
Oh how I love to hear you say my name
I've heard it said so many times in anger
When I was called upon to take the blame
But never have I heard it said so tender
Oh how I love to hear you say my name

[Becky]
That you should even care to hear me say it once out loud
It's funny how it's never made me tremble until now
[Both]
So nervous and so proud
They say the world can turn on any moment
And when it does, then nothing is the same

[Tom]
The pounding of my heart must be an omen

[Both]
Oh how I love to hear you say my name
Oh how I love to hear you say my name
