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
