I Will Whisper Your Name

Michael Johnson

Tonight I am thankful 'cause tomorrow begins

A lifetime together and two hearts will win

I have loved you as surely as love has no shame

For as long as you're listening, I'll whisper your name

I will whisper your name when you're wounded and caught

Or when love beats so loudly, a whisper is lost

And if I made the rules and if time was the game

I would promise forever to whisper your name

Well if you strike a match and set the whole world aflame

And they used up the oceans and still prayed for rain

When they cry for the guilty, I'll take the blame

And when no one is listening, I'll whisper your name

I will whisper your name when you're wounded and caught

Or when love beats so loudly, a whisper is lost

And if I made the rules and if time was the game

I would promise forever to whisper your name
