Verse 1

Am
I’ll miss her, Soft Whisper
G
In this bed where I sleep
Am
Cold winters, I’ll shiver
G
Her warmth has bled from the sheets

Her whisper, go figure
Sustained me all through this life
I’ll miss her Soft Whisper
In the slow waning light

Chorus

F C G
She slipped away like a mist on the hope of my prayer
F C G
Her parting sigh like a scent in a wisp of the air
C D
A piece of me was pulled along
Em C
The rest I’ve spilled out in this song

G D
Goodbye, farewell
Em
So long
F C
Goodbye, farewell
G
So long

Verse 2

Am
I’ve missed her, Soft Whisper
G
In the soft morning light
Am
Her footsteps, I remember
G
Dancing, with great delight

I’d kiss her, Soft Whisper
If I could catch it in flight
This drifter, will miss her
In the slow waning light

Chorus

F C G
She slipped away like a mist on the hope of my prayer
F C G
Her parting sigh like a scent in a wisp of the air
C D
A piece of me was pulled along
Em C
The rest I’ve spilled out in this song

G D
Goodbye, farewell
Em
So long
F C
Goodbye, farewell
