(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.]
