There's this girl I used to know, spoke in whispers oh so low, I'm hoping that someday I'll find, all the love that's on her mind. Though I was young and could not tell, was she a ghost from a wishing well? Just a simple girl you know, spoke in whispers oh so low. (Chorus) I hope you understand, I never understood, That when you talk to me, I never felt so good. I hope you understand, that when I close my eyes, I see you. And if I could roll back the days, so many things she longed to say. The happy days in a short life span, the agonies of a working man, A simple love so well I know, it was so very long ago. Just a simple girl you see, spoke in whispers just like me (just like me). (Chorus)
