WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
Am G
what's your name?
C Am
I'd like to write a song about you.
G
but just the same,
C Am
no label can fit the memory of you.
Dadd9(no 3rd) Am
I don't know your husband's face.
G
but if you left him for me,
C Am
perhaps it wouldn't last too long.
G
but then, if you went away,
C Am
I'll still have this song.
Am G
I don't know your name,
Dadd9(no 3rd) C Am
but here's a song I wrote about you.
G
it helps ease my pain
Dadd9(no 3rd) C Am
in the times when I must do without you.
Am G Am
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
Am G Am
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
Dadd9(no 3rd)
I was just thinking
Am
about the way that you smile at me.
G C Am
is it because you're happy?
Dadd9(no 3rd) Am
or is it that all your world is darkness
G Am
and I'm your only light?
Am G
no, I don't know your name,
Dadd9(no 3rd) C Am
but here's a song I wrote about you.
G
it helps ease my pain
Dadd9(no 3rd) C Am
in the times when I must do without you.
Am G Dadd9(no 3rd) Am
yes, this is a song that I wrote back then.
G
it's not very long,
Dadd9(no 3rd)
but that's just so
Am
I can sing it again and again and again and again.
Am G
I never knew her name,
Dadd9(no 3rd) C Am
but here's a song I wrote about her.
G
it helps ease my pain
Dadd9(no 3rd) C Am
now that I must live without her.
Am G Am
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
Am G Am
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.
