Whisper My Name

If you whisper my name as evening falls The breeze will carry your smile The leaves all listen to hear me sigh From your words that's meant to beguile The stars look down with an envious gaze For you shine above them all Defeated and broken, they surrender the night As each one begins to fall The trees begin to bow to your voice As it whispers through their leaves You've stolen the beauty away from the rose And the attention the flower receives The other night voices begin to be hushed Enchanted by the love in your word Silence now fills the long starless night When your whispers of love are heard If you whisper my name as evening falls The noises will just disappear For God Himself makes all things quiet Just to make sure that I hear
