Verse 1
D 
I can see you,
A 
D 
my dear, standing there
A 
In the shade of a beautiful tree
G 
And the breezes on high
D 
played a sweet lullaby
A 
D 
Called the song of the whispering leaves
G

G 
The leaves made a promise of love
D 
A 
They said lovers' hearts never grieve
G 
But now I'm here, all alone,
D 
dreaming of you, my own,
A 
D 
and the song of the whisperin' leaf.

D 
There's no one can take
A 
D 
your place in my heart
A 
That my darlin' you'll have to believe
G 
For since you left me here
D 
I just can't seem to hear
A 
D 
The sweet song of the whisperin' leaves
G 
D 
G 
The leaves, like our love, now are gone,
D 
A 
and all of my life I will grieve,
G 
for the wind in the trees,
D 
and that soft melody,
A 
called the song of the whispering leaves.
