Lyrics

Call,

call my (Cm7)name.

Call,

call my (Cm7)name.

Heard your voice this morn in’

call ing out my name.

It had been so (Bb)long

since I’ve heard it that it did n’t real ly sound quite the same.

But it let me (Bb)know

that my name

had nev er real ly been spo ken be fore,

be fore the day I (Bb)car ried you to the (Cm7)bri dal path door.

And (Bb)ev er since that (Gm7)day I have n’t (Fsus)want ed an y (Ebmaj7)one but (Db6)you,

and (Bb)an y bod y (Gm7)who real ly (Fsus)knows me (Ebmaj7)knows the truth,

that I, I (Ebmaj9)just can’t stop writ ing (Bb)songs a bout you.

I (Cm7)love you so much.

I (Ebmaj9)just can’t wait to get my (Bb)arms a round you and (Cm7)feel your touch.

If I don’t see you real (Bb)soon, ba by girl, I might (Cm7)go in sane.

(E)I (Ebmaj9)know it’s on ly been three (Bb)hours, but I love it when you (Cm7)call my name.

Heard a voice (Bb)on the news say in’ peo ple (Cm7)wan na stop the war (stop the war, mm).

If they had a love as (Bb)sweet (Eb6)as (Bb)you, they’d for (Cm7)get what they were fight ing for.

What’s the mat ter with the (Bb)world to day?

Land of the free?

Some bod y lied.

They can (Ebmaj9)bug my phone and peep a (Bb)round my home; they’ll on ly (Cm7)see you and (Bb)me mak in’ (Ebmaj7)love (Bb)in (Gm7)side.

(Bb)And I (Cm7)call my name.

An’ (Bb)ah,

(Db6)call my name.

(Bb)Ah,

(Db6)call my name.

Nev er seen the moon (Bb)look ing so love ly as the (Cm7)night I saw it with you.

You let me know I’d (Bb)nev er seen the moon be (Cm7)fore.

So man y speak of the moon

as though it (Cm7)had no flaws,

but to (Ebmaj7)com pare it to a beau ty like yours

would (Cm7)give one pause.

Noth (Eb7)ing a bout you is (Bb)false;

that’s why your (Cm7)love is real.

(E13)That’s why your (Eb7)love is real love.

God for bid,

if you be longed to an oth er I’d have to steal you.

(Bb)(Take you from I man.) might be tempt ed to break the law

’round (Bb)here,

(E13)be cause your beau ty, it gives one pause.

It slows me down.

I (Ebmaj9)just can’t stop writ ing (Bb)songs a bout you.

I (Cm7)love you so much.

I (Ebmaj9)just can’t wait to get my (Bb)arms a round you and (Cm7)feel your touch.

If I don’t see you real (Bb)soon, ba by girl, I might (Cm7)go in sane.

(E)I (Ebmaj9)know it’s on ly been three (Bb)hours, but I love it when you (Cm7)call my name.

Call,

call my (Cm7)name.

Call,

call my (Cm7)name.

And (Bb)ah,

(Ebmaj9)my (Db6)name.

Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 54 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
