WHISPERING WINDS
Corky Robbins  1951

as recorded by Patti Page
with Jack Rael & his Orchestra  1954


'Twas down by the river I met him,
Under the old willow tree.
The wind in the willow was sighin',
Didn't know it was sighin' for me!

Ooh-ooh-ooh,
Whisperin' winds, don't whisper to me,
Let me forget my misery!
Whisperin' winds, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be!

I remember the night that we parted,
We kissed and I heard him sigh.
Didn't know 'twas the last time I'd see him,
Didn't know he was sayin' goodbye.

Ooh-ooh-ooh,
Whisperin' winds, don't whisper to me,
Let me forget my misery!
Whisperin' winds, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be!

And now when I walk by the river,
Alone with my memory,
The wind in the willow is cryin',
And I know it is cryin' for me!

Ooh-ooh-ooh,
Whisperin' winds, don't whisper to me,
Let me forget my misery!
Whisperin' winds, don't whisper to me
Of a love that can never be,
Of a love that can never be!
