Let Me Know Your Name

I was just getting over

Having my heart broken

And forgetting the last words

That she had spoken

But then I ran into someone

And I had a felt a flame

She had to go, was running late

I didn’t get her name

Do you know the power of your name?

Please, let me know your name

My memory can’t forget

Your piercing blue eyes

So I pass by the same place

Hoping that you’ll arise

I tried and tried and tried and tried

Although you never came

I don’t think I’m asking too much

Just want to learn your name

Chorus:

Do you know the power of your name?

Please, let me know your name

There is some saving grace in your name

Please, let me know your name

I may not be the one

But I promise I’ll be done

If I can just know your name

One day I’m driving downtown

I see you wearing a white gown

Standing by you is a man

That moment messed with my plan

CHORUS

I read in the newspaper

Something that is a shame

I did learn what you go by

But learned of your new last name

Just a quick thing to note: this is not a situation that happened to me. I wanted to state that right off. When writing, I sometimes try to think of scenarios to put myself in. Occasionally I tell a story in my lyrics. With these lyrics, I tried to do both. Also, I pretty much wrote the lyrics to the tune of “Name” by Goo Goo Dolls. Just a fun fact!
