I WANT TO WHISPER SOMETHING
From the London Musical "Blitz!" (1962)
(Lionel Bart)


Graham James & Tom Kempinski (London Production) - 1962
Alma Cogan - 1962



As recorded by ALMA COGAN:

(Sssshhhhhh!)

I want to whisper something
I think I've fallen in love
I tell you this is something
I never ever dreamed of

I never ever reckoned
It happened in one second
But like they say, love beckoned
And look, it's got me like this

So let me whisper a secret
That you must never repeat
And for at least a week
Let's try to keep it really discreet

If you say you'd love me
There'd be no secrecy
I want the whole wide world to hear
I'd be proud to say I love you loud and clear 

(Sssshhhhhh!)

(I want to whisper something)

(I never ever dreamed of)

I never ever reckoned

But like they say, love beckoned
And look, it's got me like this

So let me whisper a secret
That you must never repeat
And for at least a week
Let's try to keep it really discreet

If you say you'd love me
There'd be no secrecy
I want the whole wide world to hear
I'd be proud to shout I love you
I'd be proud to say I love you 
I'd be proud to shout I love you loud and clear 

(Sssshhhhhh!)
