Whispers
Joseph Baldassare Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A brave man said,
"You put a name to a song,
And it won't change no matter what goes wrong"
I'll try my best to find a face and a name
I'll sing until we are both one in the same.
Didn't have much time to see why I was found
Had to say goodbye
As time ran out

Sail across the world
Just to find a pearl
On the other side
Hope the pearl won't forget this song,
And won't forget the sky
I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

A song is not much time to show
How beautiful you are
But I will sing a song to your heart
I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play
I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name

oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, oh-
oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, oh-,

I don't know what I should give,
Or what I'm to sing
All I can do is give you this
Let my heart play

I know your face,
Let this song whisper your name
