Lou Rawls - Whispering Gra** lyrics

You promised me, green gra**, not to tell what you heard. Whispering Gra**, say! you can't keep your word, keep your word. Why do you whisper, green gra**? Why tell the trees what ain't so? Whispering Gra**, the trees don't have to know. No, No, Why tell them all your secrets? Who kissed there long ago? Whispering gra**, the trees don't need to know. Don't you tell it to the breeze 'cause she will tell the birds and bees And ev'ryone will know because you told the blabbering trees Yes, you told them once before; It's no secret any more. Why tell them all the old things? They're buried under the snow. Whispering Gra**, don't tell the trees 'Cause the trees don't need to know. Why do you whisper, green gra**? Why tell the trees what ain't so? Whispering Gra**, the trees don't have to know. No, No, Why tell them all your secrets? Who kissed there long ago? Whispering gra**, the trees don't need to know. Don't you tell it to the breeze 'cause she will tell the birds and bees And ev'ryone will know because you told the blabbering trees Yes, you told them once before; It's no secret any more. Why tell them all the old things? They're buried under the snow. Whispering Gra**, don't tell the trees
