Oh, I w ish that you would call

We have not sp oken since last fall

That smoky conversation's coming home

Do I just read between your lines

Yeah it could be this winter wine

So sweet upon my t ongue tonight

It recalls your tender e yes

And I n eed more than a whisper

So much m ore than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper

To wake this weary f ool

Oh give me m ore than a whisper

If you're s aying I love you

Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understoo d

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 thinking of you this w ay

They say that I misread your lines

Because I've been l onely all my life

And I'd be reaching for some s ilver

And leave my heart out in the f ire

And I need m ore than a whisper

So much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper

To wake this weary f ool

Oh give me m ore than a whisper

If you're s aying I love you

Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understo od

W ell I will drink my winter wine

When I get home I'll change my life

I'll only whisper that I l ove you

In those smoky bars at nig ht

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 l ine

Cuz I need m ore than a whisper

So much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper

To wake this weary f ool

Oh give me more than a whisper

If you're s aying I love you

Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understo od
