In the silent still of the long night
I think I hear a faint soft whisper
Rousing me from slumber's respite
I gaze around looking for the speaker

I searched around the house in vain
Looking in all the dark hidden spaces
I didn't find who was calling your name
I put my head back on the pillowcases

As I stare at the shadows on the ceiling
In the flickering light I see your image
And it gives me a wonderful feeling
An eternity with you is what I envisage

Then laying there the answer is clear
It wasn't a person whispering at all
It was my heart wishing you were here
Smiling as your sweet love I recall
