Whispering Pines - Johnny Horton

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

Chorus:

Whispering pines, whispering pines, tell me is it so Whispering pines, whispering pines, you’re the one to know

My darling is gone oh he’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?

Oh, this I gotta know

Send the message by the wind because I love him so

(chorus)
