Sting - I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart) Lyrics

I wrote your name, upon my heart

So I'd remember, if ever we should part

When I got lost, inside life's game

I'd look into my heart, and find your name

A man in fetters would die of shame

I wrote these letters, that spell your name

I carved your name upon my soul

For I was broken, 'til you came to make me whole

When I got lost, outside the frame

I'd look inside my heart, I read your name

A man in fetters would die of shame

I wrote these letters

I wrote your name upon my soul

For I was broken, 'til you came to make me whole

When I got lost, outside the frame

I'd look inside my heart and there I read your name

I scrawled my number, upon your wall

I'd lie awake at night, just waiting on your call

If you came back to me, in no seconds flat

I'd raise my hands and shout, Amen to that

A man in fetters will die of shame

I wrote these letters, that spell your name

When I was down and out, no one else to blame

I'd look inside my heart

I wrote your name, upon my heart

So I'd remember, if ever we should part

When I got lost, inside life's game

I'd look into my heart, and find your name

I wrote your name upon my soul

For I was broken, until you came to make me whole

When I got lost, outside the frame

I'd look inside my heart, and there I'd read your name

I wrote your name

I wrote your name upon my heart
