Johnny Horton — 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 morning 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 darlin' is gone, ohh, 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've found Is my love still my love, ohh, this I gotta know Send the 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 darlin' is gone, ohh, she's gone And I need your sympathy
