It was by chance the two of them met that day He never thought that he could ever feel that way Now her father didn't like him, so they'd wait 'til after dark He'd tap on her bedroom window, and from somewhere in her heart Chorus: She heard a whisper, telling her to run away with him Just a little whisper, heard only by the two of them Their hearts beat with a thunder, soft as that lover's moon It's funny how the earth can move....with a whisper When he felt sure about what he felt, he ran downtown 'Walked through the door of a jewelry store and put his money down Then came the night when the time was right...he could hardly breathe Teardrops welled up in her eyes...when she saw the ring Repeat chorus: Bridge: That was fifty years ago tonight And love still sparkles in their eyes He'll kiss her cheek and hold her near And oh so tenderly...they'll hear..... A whisper.....
