Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hush, hush

Somebody's calling my name

Hush, hush

Somebody's calling my name
I hear a voice so sweet an' clear

Calling me angel an' a honey dear

Well, whoa-ho, hush, hush
Whoa-ho, hush, hush

Whoa-ho, hush, hush
Somebody's calling my name.



Hush, I say hush

Somebody's calling my name
Whoa-o-o, won't you hush
Somebody's calling my name.



If it's the girl I've been searching for

I'll tell the world I won't-a search no more

Now, whoa-ho hush, hush
Whoa-ho hush, hush

Whoa-ho hush, hush

Somebody's calling my name.



Well, talk to my mother wouldn't do me no good

Talk to my brother wouldn't do me no good
I talked to the gypsy and she said, Rejoice

You'll know your lover by the sound of his voice.



So hush, I say hush

Somebody's calling my name

Whoa now listen, won't you hush

Somebody's calling my name.



I see my baby up on a hill

I love her now and I always will

So whoa-ho hush, hush

Whoa-ho hush, hush

Whoa-ho hush, hush

Somebody's calling my name, yeah …



Somebody's calling my name, yeah …

Somebody's calling my name, yeah …





Somebody's calling my name.

One heck of a entertainer. A life cut way to soon. RIP Mr. Darin. Remember one thing he was one of the first Emmy winners, in the late 50s. When the emmys started.
