You Whisper

Darlin', when you whisper in my ear
Could you whisper louder? I can't hear
When you don't speak clearly I can only guess and doubt
What you're saying when the lights go out

I thought you called me sweetheart, called me dear
Said something soft and low I could not hear
Did you say you needed me? I think, but I don't know
By light of day, your love it does not show

Say it louder
I can't hear you
Say it louder what it is that you will say
I can't hear you
Say it louder
Don't let your words slip by and go away

I hope you speak endearments, I'm not sure
I long for something lovingly impure
I wish I had a pencil beneath the eiderdown
If I could hear, I'd write your whispers down

You see I'm hoping honey that one night
You'll say you love me when you hold me tight
You'll say you'll never leave me
Even though I know you will
Oh, did I hear you say you love me still

Say it louder
I can't hear you
Say it louder what it is that you will say
I can't hear you
Say it louder
Don't let your words slip by and go away

Moonlight through the curtain
Breeze beneath the door
Are you saying things to me you used to say before
The lamp is out
And there's nobody here
So let me hear your sweet words loud and clear

Your words go by me like the blowing sand
So I would keep these little notes at hand
I'd keep all of these notes I'd write
For treasures they would be
Reminders of you when you've gone from me

Say it louder
I can't hear you
Say it louder what it is that you will say
I can't hear you
Say it louder
Don't let your words slip by and go away
Don't let your words slip by and go away
