Lyrics
VERSE
Oooh, Gypsy woman, tell me what you see
Will the love I dream of night and day ever come to me?
Or am I doomed to wander through this life alone
And search the whole world over for a love I'll never know?
Please look into your crystal ball and tell me what you find
When will the love I have been dreamin' of for so long ever be mine?
'Til then, she's a whisper on the wind
VERSE
Oooh, genie from the bottle, with my wishes three
One, take me to that special place where she waits for me
Two, when we gaze into each other's eyes, let love come to be
And let the love grow stronger every day; wish number three
Please say you have the power to make these wishes mine
Only then would the waiting end for the love I need to find
'Til then, she's a whisper on the wind
VERSE
Oooh, palm reader, find my future in the lines
You say you can see what lies ahead like you've done a million times
Is there nothing on this earth or in the heavens up above
That can take me straight to her, take me to her love?
My journey feels longer every day; where will it all end?
I know someday she will come my way
But 'til then, she's a whisper on the wind
Oh, 'til then, she's a whisper on the wind
