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 [bad word] 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
