Lyrics

By fred fisher and doris fisher

Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know
No, no

Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago?
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the breeze
'Cause they will tell the birds and bees
And ev'ryone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret any more

Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know

Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'Cause the trees don't need to know
