Songtext Whispering grass The Ink Spots

Whispering grass

Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know, oh 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 breeze
'Cause 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

Now don't you tell it to the trees
'Cause they'll go right out and tell the birds and the bees
And everybody will know
Just cause you told those babbling trees
Yeah, you told them once before, blabbermouth
And it really ain't 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
