From the recording Mama Came to Sing
Lyrics
WHISPER MY NAME
My friends, they’re all asking why I’m still alone
Why I’ve got nobody to call my own
And my answer is always and forever the same
I’m waiting for someone to whisper my name
It won’t take a dozen roses to know
He won’t need a brass band to tell me so
I don’t care about schoolin’ or riches or fame
I’m looking for someone to whisper my name
He won’t need to cry out for strength from above
to utter his truest confessions of love
There will be no more guilt or heartache or blame
He’ll gather his courage and whisper my name
There will be no misgivings or heartache or shame
He’ll gather his courage and whisper my name
