Whispering Pines

The snowflakes fall as winter comes And time just seems to fly Is it the loneliness in me That makes me want to cry? My heart is sad, like a mourning dove That's lost its mate in flight Hear the cooing of his lonely heart Through the stillness of the night Whispering pines, whispering pines Tell me, is it so? Whispering pines, whispering pines You're the one who knows My darling is gone, oh she's gone And I need your sympathy Whispering pines, send my baby back to me See that squirrel up in the tree His mate there on the ground Hear their barking call of love For the happiness they found Is my love, still my love? Oh, this I've go to know Send a message by the wind Because I love her so Whispering pines, whispering pines Tell me, is it so? Whispering pines, whispering pines You're the one who knows My darling is gone, oh she's gone And I need your sympathy Whispering pines, send my baby back to me --- Whispering Pines - Johnny Horton
