Whispers

[Verse 1] In the quiet of the evening, through the willow tree that sighs, Where the moon softly whispers to the stars up in the sky, There's a grown man leaning, with secrets in his eyes, Telling tales to the little girl who lives next door so shy. He speaks of lands of wonder, where dreams are made to soar, Of dragons tamed by kindness, and treasures on distant shore. Her eyes grow wide and curious, as she sits upon the floor, And the whispers of his sweet nothings, they're more than she could bore. [Chorus] Oh, sweet child of innocence, with your heart so wild and free, Come take a journey with me, to a place that you can't see. In the world of my whispers, where the stars are yours to keep, I'll be your guide through the shadows, till the morning light does weep. [Verse 2] He sings of love and laughter, wrapped in a gentle lull, Of a world without a shadow, where fears dare not pull, Where the rivers run with chocolate, and the trees grow candied apples tall, And every whispered promise, is a dream she's about to recall. With a tender voice so soft, he weaves a spell so bright, A cocoon of sweet nothings, to keep her safe from the night, And as she drifts to slumber, she holds them in her sight, The whispers of her guardian, a lullaby that's not quite right. [Chorus] Oh, little one with dreams so vast, in the land of make-believe, Together we'll conquer fears, till the dawn does retrieve. Let the whispers of the darkness, be the softest, sweetest roar, In this secret place we've found, where imagination's shore. [Bridge] But as the night goes on, and the whispers grow faint, A shadow starts to form, with a story that's not quite the same, The sweetness turns to sadness, the comfort to a pain, The whispers of the neighbor, they're not as they claim. [Verse 3] The tales of joy and splendor, give way to a cry, Of lost love and shattered hearts, that never learn to fly, He whispers of a solace, found in a child's pure sigh, And the price of growing old, when the truth is a lie. Her eyes once filled with wonder, now hold a question so stark, Can she trust the whispers, from the man in the dark? Or are his sweet nothings, a prison for her spark? The whispers of the neighbor, leave a mark. [Chorus] Oh, precious soul so tender, in the night's tender embrace, I'll keep your secrets safe, in this quiet, secret space. But remember, my sweet child, as you grow and explore, Some whispers are for comfort, others you should ignore. [Outro] The dawn begins to break, the whispers fade away, The girl stirs from her slumber, to face another day, The neighbor's gone, his secrets taken with the light, But in her heart, she knows, she'll always hold tight, The whispers of the night. [End] [Chorus] Oh, precious soul so tender, in the night's tender embrace, I'll keep your secrets safe, in this quiet, secret space. But remember, my sweet child, as you grow and explore, Some whispers are for comfort, others you should ignore. [Outro] The dawn begins to break, the whispers fade away, The girl stirs from her slumber, to face another day, The neighbor's gone, his secrets taken with the light, But in her heart, she knows, she'll always hold tight, The whispers of the night. [End]
