Whispering Grass
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no
Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know
Don't you tell it to the trees
She will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret anymore
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'cause the trees don't need to know
Now, don't you tell it to the trees,
'cause they'll just run 'n' tell the birds and bees.
Then everybody'd know 'cause you told them doggone trees!
Yes you did, you know you did, ya told 'em once before.
Now look atcha, honey child, it ain't no secret no mo'.
Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'cause the trees don't need to know
