Lyrics

(D)Fin ’ly got o ver that song of ours, stopped chas in’ lit tle red sports cars to check the li cense plates, (G)back ward driv in’ by your place.

Back (D)mak in’ the rounds at our old haunts, honk y tonks, res tau rants, and see in’ some of our old friends, feels good to dance a gain.

And I can (G)fin ’ly smell your per fume and I look a round the room for (G)you.

And I can (G)walk right by your pic ture in a (A)frame and not feel a thing.

But when I hear your name, I feel (D)rain in the fall in’ right out of the blue sky.

And it’s the fifth of (G)May and I’m right there star in’ in your eyes.

I And I noth in’s (Bm7)changed,

you’re I still the (G)same.

And I get (D)lost in the in no cence of a first er kiss.

And I’m hang in’ (G)on to ev ’ry word fall in’ off of your lips.

And that’s all it (Bm7)takes,

and I’m in that (G)place

(G)ev ’ry time I hear your (D)name.

Got (D)some one spe cial in my life, ev ’ry one thinks she’d make a great wife.

(Gsus2)Dad says he thinks she’s the one, re minds him of Mom when she was young.

But it’s (D)way too soon to be talk in’ ’bout rings.

Don’t wan na rush in to an y thing.

She’s get tin’ o ver some one, too.

Kind a like me and you.

And she (G)talks a bout him ev ’ry once in a while and (G)I just nod my head and smile ’cause I (G)know ex act ly what she’s go in’ (A)through.

Yeah, I’ve been there, too.

But when the (G)con ver sa tion (A)turns to you,

I get (G)ev ’ry time I hear your (D)name.

I start (G)think in’ ’bout the words I left un said.

Start (D)try’n’ to change the things that I can’t change.

In my (Bm7)heart, I know you’re gone, but in my (A)head

I feel (D)rain fall in’ right out of the blue sky.

And it’s the fifth of (Gsus2)May and I’m right there star in’ in (G)your eyes.

That’s all it (Bm7)takes and I’m in that (G)place.

And there we (D)are, parked down by the riv er side, and I’m in your (G)arms, a bout to make love for the first time.

And I can’t ex (Bm7)plain, but I’m in that (G)place

(G)ev ’ry time I hear your (D)name,

(G)ev ’ry time I hear your (D)name,

(G)ev ’ry time I hear your (D)name.

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 100 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.
