The Whispers

I hear the whispers

everywhere I go

Everyone asking me

boy, why won't you

let her go?

I hear the whispers

as they say

behind my back

boy, you're such a fool

and she ain't never

coming back

how can I let her know

for me it just can't be

that to let her go

would be the very

end of me

If I could only show her

that I still care

If I could only show her

what I still hear

with every beat of my heart

she'd hear her name

with every beat of my heart

she'd hear it whispered

in the dark
