Song of the Whispering Leaves
Recorded by Hank Locklin
Written by Scot Livingston and Hank Locklin
3/4 time 
C 
I can see you my  
G7 
dear standing  
C 
there
 
In the shade of a beautiful  
G7 
tree
 
And the  
F 
breezes on high played a  
C 
sweet 
 
lullaby
 
Called the song of the  
G7 
whispering 
 
 
C 
leaves
 
The  
F 
leaves made a  
C 
promise of  
F 
love
 
They say a lover's  
C 
heart never  
G7 
grieves
 
But now I'm  
F 
here all alone  
C 
dreaming of you my own
 
And the song of the  
G7 
whispering 
 
 
C 
leaves
 
There's no one can take your  
G7 
place in my  
C 
heart
 
That my darling you have to be
G7 
lieve
 
For since you  
F 
left me here I just  
C 
can't seem to hear
 
The sweet song of the  
G7 
whispering 
 
 
C 
leaves
 
The  
F 
leaves like our  
C 
love now are  
F 
gone
 
And all of my  
C 
life I will  
G7 
grieve
 
For the  
F 
wind in the trees and  
C 
that soft melody
 
Called the song of the  
G7 
whispering 
 
 
C 
leaves

Who is Hank Locklin?
- Hank Locklin (born Lawrence Hankins Locklin February 15, 1918 - March 8, 2009) was an American country music singer-songwriter. He had 70 chart singles, including two number one hits on Billboard's country chart. His biggest hits included "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On" and his signature "Please Help Me, I'm Falling." The latter also went to number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 pop music chart. Billboard's 100th anniversary issue listed it as the second most successful country single of the rock and roll era. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA.Locklin was born and raised in Florida. He developed a fondness for country music following an accident in his childhood. He learned to play the guitar during his recovery and began performing locally as well. In his early adulthood, he formed his own band called the Rocky Mountain Playboys, which played gigs and performed on local radio. Locklin was heard singing during one of these gigs, which led to his first recording contract in 1949. He had his first major hit on the Billboard country chart the same year. His 1953 single, "Let Me Be the One" was his first to top the country chart.
In 1955, Locklin signed with RCA Victor Records and under the production of Chet Atkins, he had his biggest success as a country artist. He had a string of major hits during the late 1950s and early 1960s. He also joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry and remained a member for nearly 50 years. He became a major concert attraction internationally as well, touring overseas in Europe beginning in the 1960s and 70s. Locklin also recorded a handful of concept albums during this period, which made him among the genre's first artists to release albums centered around a theme. He would later record for other labels, including MGM, Plantation and Coldwater. Despite his country success, Locklin never lived in Nashville, choosing instead to stay in his home state of Florida. Locklin died in 2009 at the age of 91.
