Subject: Lyr Add: YOU KNOW MY NAME (A Podell/W Schorr)
ANothe rposting of the same lyrics cites Glenn Yarborough:

"No piece of music, however, has ever captivated me in the way that Art Podell and Walter Schorr's song You Know My Name has. The piece was composed in 1962 when Podell was part The New Christy Minstrels. I came to know and love the message as it was performed by Glenn Yarbrough of the Limeliters in the opening cut on his first solo album Time to Move On in 1964.

You Know My Name
    Art Podell & Walter Schorr

You've heard my voice.
You've heard my voice
and you know my name.

If you've ever kissed in the summer rain,
If you've slept where wind and snows have lain,
If you've ever heard a lonely train:
Then you've heard my voice,
And you know my name.

If you've bowed your head when you're filled with pride,
If you've learned of death when a bird has died,
If you've tasted tears when a child has cried:
Then you've heard my voice,
And you know my name.

You've heard my voice in the winds of spring.
Seen my face where the roses cling.
I am the touch that the warm rains bring.
I make my home in the heart of everything.

In the driving rain of a summer squall,
When the summer's gone and the petals fall,
When the day is done, and the night birds call:
Then you've heard my voice
And you know my name.
"

From here.
