I called out your name, but I got no answer.
You had gone away without a word; no reason why.
I called out your name; echoes filled the cold deserted rooms
and the silence I could not bear.

         Time has now gone by, yet I can not forget nor give up.
         I live in hope that you will come back to me.
         Always in my heart there is a place reserved just for you.
         Do not let my tears flow down in vain.

I called out your name. In my mind I saw you
in a swirling mist of hazy blue, beyond my reach.
I called out your name to the wind that blew in restless nights
and I wondered where you could be.

         Time has now gone by, yet I can not forget nor give up.
         I live in hope that you will come back to me.
         Always in my heart there is a place reserved just for you.
         Do not let my tears flow down in vain.

I called out your name to the stars above me;
to the rolling sea where secrets hide among the waves.
I called out your name as I sat alone and longed for you
and the silence I could not bear.

         I still call your name
         as I live in hope.
         Life is not the same
         since you went away.
         I call your name.
