[Intro]
Gone like a whisper!
Gone like a whisper!

Gone like a whisper!
Gone like a whisper!

The one to keep you strong!

[Verse 1]
I'm on the other end of your telephone
It's not my problem but I just can't leave it alone
I'm not intending on asking you to stay

[Verse 2]
But I can tell this guy is stringin' you 'long
I know I'm biased but that doesn't mean that I'm wrong
And I believe he plans to take you away

[Pre-Chorus]
If I didn't love you I wouldn't let you go
But I will not see him take away your soul!

[Chorus]
If you tell me "Go away" I'll be gone like a whisper
But will he stay forever by your side
Baby, don't blame me if he leaves you in embers
And gives you out like a product of his pride
Tell me that someday you'll look back on my warning
And hope to God that you can prove me wrong
I'll be back this way some day in the future
Knowing I won't be the one to keep you strong

[Verse 3]
You've made your mind up and you're not looking back
I would persuade you, but oh, if I just had the nack!
Made the decision, you're leaving us behind

[Pre-Chorus]
If I didn't love you I wouldn't let you go
But I will not see him take away your soul!

[Chorus]
If you tell me "Go away" I'll be gone like a whisper
But will he stay forever by your side
Baby, don't blame me if he leaves you in embers
And gives you out like a product of his pride

[break]
Gone like a whisper!
Gone like a whisper!

Gone like a whisper!
Gone like a whisper!
[Pre-Chorus]
If I didn't love you I wouldn't let you go
But I will not see him take away your soul!

[Chorus]
If you tell me "Go away" I'll be gone like a whisper
But will he stay forever by your side
Baby, don't blame me if he leaves you in embers
And gives you out like a product of his pride

Tell me that someday you'll look back on my warning
And hope to God that you can prove me wrong
I'll be back this way some day in the future
Knowing I won't be the one to keep you strong
