In the shade of a beautiful tree
Called the song of the whispering leaves
The leaves made a promise of love
They said lovers' hearts never grieve
But now I'm here, all alone,
and the song of the whisperin' leaf.
That my darlin' you'll have to believe
For since you left me here
I just can't seem to hear
The sweet song of the whisperin' leaves
The leaves, like our love, now are gone,
and all of my life I will grieve,
for the wind in the trees,
called the song of the whispering leaves.
