Title:

“Whispering Pines”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the [C] whispering [G] pines,
[D] That’s where I lost my [G] love.
[G] She was like that [C] sweet summer [G] wine,
[D] And as gentle as a [G] dove.

(Chorus)
[C] Whispering pines, tell me [G] true,
[D] Does she still think of me as I do [G] you?
[C] Amid the rustling leaves and the [G] soft wind’s sigh,
[D] I still hear her voice in the [G] midnight sky.

(Verse 2)
[G] Our love was [C] pure, our hearts so [G] sure,
[D] Underneath the whispering [G] pines.
[G] Now all I have are [C] memories [G] pure,
[D] And the echo of her [G] sweet chimes.

(Chorus)
[C] Whispering pines, bring back my [G] love,
[D] Soar on the wings of the white [G] dove.
[C] Bring back the days, under your [G] shade,
[D] When love was made, beneath your [G] serenade.
