Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angel’s gown shines white
All at once you’re glad she’s there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I’ll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Night turns into gold
So the tide may turn today
Though God gave the world
It’s not mine to throw away
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I’ll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da — da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Help to face what the day may bring
Angels sing
You were sent to make the night be kind
What will I find

Snowflake bird she came
Taking grey clouds from your door
Face the midnight sun
You have something to live for
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I’ll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
La da da — da
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me
