Lyrics:
First verse
I have been thinking, thinking each day of you I have been waiting, waiting the long nights thru' I have been longing, longing to hear your dear voice say Say that you love me, just in your soothing way:
Chorus
Whisper sweet and low to me Soothing words of sympathy Soothe my heart with your caresses, While you smile all the while tenderly Soothe me with your gentle charms When I'm in your loving arms, dear, All I can do Is worship you While you're soothing me. Whisper sweet and low to me Soothing words of sympathy Soothe my heart with your caresses, While you smile all the while tenderly Soothe me with your gentle charms When I'm in your loving arms, dear, All I can do Is worship you While you're soothing me.
Second verse
Spring time is coming, soon will the mating dove Bask in the sunlight, cooing with fervent love So then will we, dear, just as we did in days gone by Love for the present, dreams for the bye and bye:
(Chorus)
