"I Hear You Calling Me", an early 20th century song made famous by Irish tenor John McCormack, by Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, from the album Back In Your Life (1979).

Lyrics:

I hear you calling me

you've called me when the moon had a viel of light

before I went from you into the night

I came

do you remember?

that you

for one more kiss

beneath the kind star's light

I hear you calling me

And oh the weary gladness in your voice

that warmth that's made my longing heart rejoice

you spoke

do you remember?

all my heart

still hears that kiss

and music of your voice

I can hear you calling me

though years have stretched their weary years between

and over your grave the grass has now grown green

I stand

do you remember?

resting here

I'm still hearing your voice

through all the years between

I hear you calling me

I love John McCormack, particularly the version of this song from the March 16, 1911 session you've kindly posted. He and Jonathan Richman are, naturally, totally different voices and artists. In his singular fashion, Jojo is a genuine artist and communicator, too. I love both!! Thanks, fervieira, for posting!

Being used to John McCormack, this kind of ruined the song for me!
