When I Call Your Name Lyrics

Lyrically, Gill croons of a long-lost lover who no longer returns his cries of affection. The mood is somber! “When I Call Your Name” reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks list.[Verse 1]I rushed home from work like I always doI spent my whole day just thinking of youWhen I walked through the front door, my whole life was changed'Cause nobody answered when I called your name[Verse 2]A note on the table that told me goodbyeIt said you'd grown weary of living a lieOh, your love has ended but mine still remainsBut nobody answers when I call your name[Chorus]Oh, the lonely sound of my voice callin'Is drivin' me insaneAnd just like rain, the tears keep fallin'But nobody answers when I call your name[Piano Solo][Steel Guitar Solo][Chorus]Oh, the lonely sound of my voice callin'Is drivin' me insaneAnd just like rain, the tears keep fallin'But nobody answers when I call your nameOh, nobody answers when I call your nameSee Vince Gill LiveGet tickets as low as $74You might also likeEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
