Why do you whisper, green grass? |
|
Why tell the tress what ain't so? |
|
Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no |
|
Why tell them all your secrets? |
|
Who kissed there long ago |
|
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know |
|
Don't you tell it to the trees |
|
She will tell the birds and bees |
|
And everyone will know |
|
Because you told the blabbering trees |
|
Yes, you told them once before |
|
It's no secret anymore |
|
Why tell them all the old things? |
|
They're buried under the snow |
|
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees |
|
'cause the trees don't need to know |
|
MONOLOGUE: Now, don't you tell it to the trees, 'cause they'll just run 'n' tell the birds and |
|
bees. Then everybody'd know 'cause you told them doggone trees! Yes you did, you know |
|
you did, ya told 'em once before. Now look atcha, honey child, it ain't no secret no mo'. |
|
Why tell them all the old things? |
|
They're buried under the snow |
|
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees |
|
'cause the trees don't need to know |
