Oh, I wish that you would call We have not spoken since last fall And that smoky conversation's Coming home Do I just read between your lines? Yeah, could be this winter wine So sweet upon my tongue tonight Recalls your tender eyes And I need more than a whisper So much more than a whisper It takes more than a whisper To wake this weary fool Oh, give me more than a whisper If you're sayin', I love you 'Cause it's the whispers That I've never understood And it's snowing up in the northlands I read your warm words from the plains While the poets say that I should never Be thinkin' of you this way And they say that I misread your lines 'Cause I've been lonely all my life And I'd be reaching for some silver And leave my heart out in the fire And I need more than a whisper So much more than a whisper It takes more than a whisper To wake this weary fool Oh, give me more than a whisper If you're sayin', I love you 'Cause it's the whispers That I've never understood Well, I will drink my winter wine When I get home I'll change my life I'll only whisper that I love you In those smoky bars at night And though the poets say, I'm lonely There's still this woman here inside And I've never been a fool When my heart was on the line 'Cause I need more than a whisper So much more than a whisper It takes more than a whisper To wake this weary fool Oh, give me more than a whisper If you're sayin', I love you 'Cause it's the whispers That I've never understood
