A Thousand Times Your Name

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

A thousand times your name

I say it soft and slow

I ask the sky each morning

To keep you where you are

I wandered years and years

Chasing some distant light

Then you arrived like rain

Falling without a sound

Pre-Chorus

You are all I pictured

All I was too afraid to want

Chorus

Mi amor

You are the answer that I begged the heavens for

Mi amor

You led me by the hand and I owe you my thanks

Mi amor

A wonder with your name and the way you speak

Mi amor

Watch over her always watch over her

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh watch over her

Oh-oh watch over her

Verse 2

Clever

Lovely in your every move

The world keeps teaching me

Whenever you open your mouth

I do not know what I would do

If one day you slipped away

Let me stay right here

Where your stillness holds me close

Pre-Chorus

You are all I pictured

All I was too afraid to want

Chorus

Mi amor

You are the answer that I begged the heavens for

Mi amor

You led me by the hand and I owe you my thanks

Mi amor

A wonder with your name and the way you speak

Mi amor

Watch over her always watch over her

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh watch over her

Oh-oh watch over her

Bridge

If it takes my whole life I will wait for you

If it lasts forever I will stay

I ask of you a single thing

Leave her with me a little more

Chorus

Mi amor

You are the answer that I begged the heavens for

Mi amor

You led me by the hand and I owe you my thanks

Mi amor

A wonder with your name and the way you speak

Mi amor

Watch over her always watch over her

Always watch over her watch over her
