The Mention Of Your Name Lyrics - Chris Rea

Time goes by and every single tear 

It must have well run dry 

And the lonely nights 

Become a strange accepted way 

And the years go past 

Just like the old song says 

The pain with time has healed, it couldn't last 

But oh a friend like a fool 

Mentions your name

Sunny days, drunken nights 

You smile and say, it's alright 

But oh the cold cold rain 

At the mention of your name 

Forgive me please 

If I shrug my shoulders 

When I put my friend at ease 

As I get older 

Photos 

It's not that I don't feel colder than before 

Oh I've become so good at hiding 

What I feel without confiding 

It's still the same, darling still the same 

At the mention of your name
