Whisper Sweetly in My Willing Ear.
Copyright, 1898, by John J. Hagan.
Words and Music by John J. Hagan.

Whisper sweetly in my willing ear.
Tell me that you love me once again.
For the sound Is ever sweet to hear.
If love's in the hearts of maid and swain.
Tell the tale I know you love to tell,
Eagerly I'm waiting by your side:
Speak the words that sweethearts love so well,
Tell me that your love I'm not denied.

Chorus.
Whisper sweetly In my willing ear,
Tell me that you love me once again.
When love's budding gnawing care is sere.
Joyous is the hearts of maid and swain.

Whisper sweetly in my willing ear.
No music so dulcet as thy voice;
When love's budding gnawing care is sere,
Speak the words that make my heart rejoice.
To greet thee to linger on thy lips,
Imbibing Cupid's nectar divine,
Vives the potion that the great Jove sips.
So tell me again, love, thou art mine.

Chorus.
Whisper sweetly in my willing ear.
No music so dulcet as thy voice.
For the sound is ever sweet to hear.
Speak the words that make my heart rejoice.
