I was stumbling right by
Like a wreck I came to you
So I staggered through the night
Seeking out your rescue blues
Gonna burn your name right across the sky
So I never forget what the feeling's like
Gonna burn your name right across the sky
So I never forget what the feeling's like

I want every single soul to know
That I love you for what you are
So I sound the bells that praise 
Your precious heart

So tomorrow will arrive
In a burst o' broken light
And a spell will hold us back
Shattering like glass

I want every single soul to know
That I love you for what you are
So I sound the bells that praise 
Your precious heart
I want every single soul to know
That I love you for what you are
So I sound the bells that praise 
Your precious heart

Burn your name right across the sky
So I never forget what the feeling's like
Burn your name right across the sky
So I never forget what the feeling's like
Burn your name right across the sky
So I never forget what the feeling's like
Burn your name right across the sky
So I never forget what the feeling's like

I want every single soul to know
That I love you for what you are
So I sound the bells that praise 
Your precious heart
I want every single soul to know
That I love you for what you are
So I sound the bells that praise 
Your precious heart

Gonna burn your name
Gonna burn your name
