Say My Name Lyrics - Dillatroit - J. Dilla

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 gonna change 

Something's gonna 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'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 

Whenever I say your name, 

Let there be no mistake 

That day will last forever 

Whenever I say your name, 

No matter how long it takes, 

One day we'll be together
