I arose in the morning when you spoke in your slumber
The truth you've been hiding of another you have chose
The tales of her beauty from your lips came unknowin'
And the tears down my cheeks how they flow
Now you don't have to whisper I know
I went down to the water with the ashes of a letter
The words you had wrote her I had burned till they were cold
But my love is eternal, a flame never endin'
So the tears down my cheeks how they flow
Now you don't have to whisper I know
And this song remains true
It will always be of you
And your secret now forever we will hold
So the tears down my cheeks how they flow
Now you don't have to whisper I know
Now you don't have to whisper I know
The truth you've been hiding of another you have chose
The tales of her beauty from your lips came unknowin'
And the tears down my cheeks how they flow
Now you don't have to whisper I know
I went down to the water with the ashes of a letter
The words you had wrote her I had burned till they were cold
But my love is eternal, a flame never endin'
So the tears down my cheeks how they flow
Now you don't have to whisper I know
And this song remains true
It will always be of you
And your secret now forever we will hold
So the tears down my cheeks how they flow
Now you don't have to whisper I know
Now you don't have to whisper I know
