Lyrics
Whispering Pines
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.
The snowflakes fall as winter comes and time just seems to fly
Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry?
My heart is sad, like a mourning dove that's lost its mate in flight
Hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the night
Chorus:
Whispering pines, whispering pines, tell me is it so
Whispering pines, whispering pines, you're the one to know
My darling is gone oh he's gone and I need your sympathy
Whispering pines send my baby back to me
See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love for the happiness they've found
Is my love still my love? Oh, this I gotta know
Send the message by the wind because I love him so
(chorus)
