Why do you whisper, green grass,
|
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
|
Whispering grass,
|
The trees don't have to know.
|
|
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,
|
`Cos she will tell the birds and bees,
|
And everyone will know
|
Because you told them once before.
|
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,
|
'Cos the trees don't need to know.
|
|
Now don't you tell it to the breeze
|
`Cos she will tell the birds and bees,
|
And everyone will know
|
Because you told them once before.
|
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,
|
'Cos the trees don't need to know.
