The Whipporwill
by Keely Smith
on What Kind Of Fool Am I? (1962)
The night was young and so were we
Beneath the old magnolia tree
And when you said "I love you so"
The whippoorwill sang sweet and low
The moon was high, we lingered long
The whippoorwill went wild with song
But when you said that we must part
He struck a note that broke his heart
Poor whippoorwill, he had no choice
You took away his lovely voice
The leaves are brown, the blossom's dead
They tumble down all round my head
My lonely heart cries out for you
The whippoorwill is lonely too
Poor whippoorwill, he had no choice
You took away his lovely voice
The leaves are brown, the blossom's dead
They tumble down all round my head
My lonely heart cries out for you
The whippoorwill is lonely too
