Lyrics of Whenever i say your name

Whenever i say your name lyrics by mary j. blige
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
