Tonight I am thankful 'cause tomorrow begins
A lifetime together and two hearts will win
I have loved you as surely as love has no shame
For as long as you're listening, I'll whisper your name

I will whisper your name when you're wounded and caught
Or when love beats so loudly, a whisper is lost
And if I made the rules and if time was the game
I would promise forever to whisper your name

Well if you strike a match and set the whole world aflame
And they used up the oceans and still prayed for rain
When they cry for the guilty, I'll take the blame
And when no one is listening, I'll whisper your name

I will whisper your name when you're wounded and caught
Or when love beats so loudly, a whisper is lost
And if I made the rules and if time was the game
I would promise forever to whisper your name
