The summer night has got something to say
Honey, be silent and listen
A little whisper like a preacher would pray
Honey, be silent and listen
Slow down a moment we been talkin' all day

What wonderful story it's tellin'
We'll hear it if we stop yellin'

So honey, be silent and listen
The night'll whisper little things in your ear
Be silent and listen
It's gonna whisper something you wanna hear
Honey, be silent and listen
And when you've heard it and it's ever so clear

Define every meanin'
'Cause I will be dreamin' away
Hey, don't scream that way

Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me, I know it's true
There's no one here but you, won't you keep?

Whispering why you'll never leave me
Whispering why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you

So be silent and listen
The summer nights has got something to say
Honey, be silent and listen
A little whisper like a preacher would pray
Honey, be silent and listen
Slow down a moment we been talkin' all day

What wonderful story it's tellin'
We'll hear it if we stop yellin'

So honey, be silent and listen
The night'll whisper little things in your ear
Honey, be silent and listen
It's gonna whisper something you wanna hear
Honey, be silent and listen
And when you've heard it and it's ever so clear

Define every meanin'
'Cause I will be dreamin' away
Hey, don't scream that way
Don't scream that way
