Lyrics Gilbert O'Sullivan

Gilbert O'Sullivan

At The Very Mention Of Your Name

At the very mention of your name

get shivers down my back and in my brain

the parts that used to function normally

are now as you can see

acting very strange

oh at the very mention of your name

don't know why but if I were tied up in chains

I would somehow be released

all problems too would cease

my heart would never feel no pain

at the very mention of your name

At the very moment you arrive

I stop living and I start to feel alive

you have the power that's taken over me

led me to believe

call it what you like

at the very moment you arrive

I suspect that I will pinch myself to find

that it really isn't true

it really can't be you

walking up the garden drive

at the very moment you arrive

And although it's been said well over a thousand times

here's a thousand more

will you still be mine forever and evermore

At the very mention of your name

what am I to do and who am I to blame

the effect upon my life can only be described

a bit like being hit my a train

at the very mention of your name
