Genres: Action,Don’t ask me how my day went
I’m beat and all my energy’s spent
Feels like the whole world wants to use me
I need to hear your voice soothe me
Softly tell me
Why don’t you
Whisper my worries away
Wrap your arms round my waist
Put your lips close to my ear
Tell me words I want to hear
Baby you know just what to say
To whisper my worries away
Work your wonders on my heart
And we’ll make the most of the dark
Cover me in kisses like fresh fallen snow
Lay with me, melt into my soul
No-one talks to my heart quite the way you do
When you wake me every morning, I love how you
Whisper my worries away
Wrap your arms round my waist
Put your lips close to my ear
Tell me words I want to hear
Baby you know just what to say
