- Verse:
- Honey I have something to
tell you,
- And it's worth while listening
to.
- Put your little head on
my shoulder,
- So that I can whisper to
you.
-
- Chorus:
- Whispering while you cuddle
near me,
- Whispering so no one can
hear me,
- Each little whisper seems
to cheer me,
- I know it's true There's
no one dear, but you.
- You're whispering why you'll
never leave me,
- Whispering why you'll never
grieve me,
- Whisper and say that you
believe me,
- Whispering that I love you.
