The snowflakes fall as winter calls
Times just seem to fly
Is it the loneliness in me
That makes me want to cry
My heart is sad like a morning dove
Who's lost it's mate in flight
Hear the cooing of his lonely heart
Through the stillness of the night

Whispering pines, whispering pines
Tell me is it so
Whispering pines, whispering pines
You're the one who knows
My darlin's gone, Oh she's gone
And I need your sympathy
Whispering pines, send my baby
Back to me

See that squirrel up in the tree
His mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love
For the happiness they found
Is my love still my love
This I've got to know
Send a message by the wind
Because I love her so

Whispering pines, whispering pines
Tell me is it so
Whispering pines, whispering pines
You're the one who knows
My darlin's gone, Oh she's gone
And I need your sympathy
Whispering pines, send my baby
Back to me
