HushThere’s a kind of hush all over the world tonightAll over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in loveYou know what I meanJust the two of us and nobody else concernedThere’s nobody else, and I’m feeling good holding you tightSo listen very carefully, closer nowAnd you will see what I mean (see what I mean)Hm, it isn’t a dream (it isn’t a dream)The only sound that you will hearIs when I whisper in your ear, I love you forever and everThere’s a kind of hush all over the world tonightAll over the world people just like us are falling in loveSo listen very carefully, closer nowAnd you will see what I mean (see what I mean)No no, it isn’t a dream (it isn’t a dream)Hmm, the only sound that you will hearIs when I whisper in your ear, I love you forever and everThere’s a kind of hush all over the world tonightAll over the world people just like us are falling in loveAre falling in loveFallin’ in love
