Mary J. Blige
Whenever I say your name (25 years)
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth
Whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul
Whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I'm filled with doubts
That we will be together
Wherever I lay me down
Wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry
Whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I kneel to pray
Whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name
Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something's going to change
Something's going to change
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say your name
I'm already praying, I'm already praying
I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain
Wherever I lay me down
Wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry
Whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying
Whenever this world has got me down
Whenever I shed a tear
Whenever the TV makes me mad
Whenever I'm paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky
Whenever I lose the reason why
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together
Whenever the sun refuse to shine
Whenever the skies are pouring rain
Whatever I lost I thought was mine
Whenever I close my eyes in pain
Whenever I kneel to pray
Whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name
Whenever this dark begins to fall
Whenever I'm vulnerable and small
Whenever I feel like I could die
(Whenever I feel like I could die)
Whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I call to mind your face
I'm already praying
Whatever bread's in my mouth
Whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Wherever I lay me down
Wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry
Whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying
Whenever I say your name
No matter how long it takes one day
We'll be together (We will be together)
Whenever I say your name
I say when I hurt and cry
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever
(I feel I'm gonna die)
Whenever I say your name
(Whenever I say your name) Yeah
No matter how long it takes
One day we'll be together
(One day we'll be together)
Whenever I say your name
Whenever… whenever I say it loud
Let there be no mistake
No matter that day will last forever
Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say your name
No matter, no matter how long it takes
One day we'll be together
(We will be together)
Whenever I say your name
Whenever… whenever I say it loud
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever
Whenever I say your name
