Will You Whisper
by: Sandra(gad - hirschburger)
Yes I believe in you
As you believe in me
So will you whisper
Don't give up
To me once again
We hide so many fears
We cry so many tears
So will you whisper
Don't give up
To me once again
There was a time
Soft and tender
I could feel the earth below
When I slowly turned
I found myself alone
Take me by your hand
I know you'll understand
So will you whisper
Open up your heart
Rise and shine
I wanna know
Can you tell me
Why we have to be so cruel
Do you know how deep it hurts
When love is leavin you
Why don't you say
You don't want me
You don't need me in your life
Do you know how deep it hurts
To be alone
It's deep inside of you
And deep inside of me
So will you whisper
Don't give up
To me once again
The voice inside my dreams
Is talking to the wind
I hear you whisper
Open up your heart
Rise and shine
There was a time
Soft and tender
I could feel the earth below
Do you know how deep it hurts
To be alone
I wanna know
Can you tell me
Is there never a forever thing
Don't you know it hurts
