(I COULD ONLY) WHISPER YOUR NAME (Words, Ramsey McLean. Music, Harry Connick, Jr.)
Somebody was spreading rumors 'Bout better days a-comin'. Why was I hummin' As if I knew One and the same? But I just whispered your name.
Somebody was sayin' somethin' 'Bout there being an end to tyranny, But when they asked me What would I do If that day came, I only whispered your name.
Everyone got their own opinion And protects their own dominion. No doubt for them it's true. But I tell them what I really believe. My only worry is protecting you.
No one should ever be lonely. We'd all find somebody to care. Ask me if I dare To answer who Could carry that flame I'd just whisper your name.
[Sung by Harry Connick, Jr. on "She," 1994; "Mask" (Original Soundtrack), 1994; and on the compilation "Hollywood Soundtracks," 1995.]
