Whispers, The - Song For Donny Lyrics
People speak your name
And think what a shame you're gone
Still they know
What you've left behind
Lives in our hearts and minds
The clouds of darkness came your way
You've given us a brighter day
And your music will be
So very, very special to me
Sometimes wealth and fame
Whispered, "Play my game"
But you, yes, you refused to
Genius touched your soul
God's gift is what changed you
A voice like silk would weave your spell
And words of life, oh, only you tell
And your music is gonna be
Very, very special to me
In life's fleeting glance
You have met the chance to give
All they can't
And though short you stayed
Before you went away with them
Now you stand
Listening to your sounds of joy
I think one shot, ghetto boy
And your music will always be
So very, very special to me
Said I love you, Donny
And you're gonna always be
Very, very, very special to me
Gonna miss one shot, little ghetto boy
This is a song for you
Said I love you, Donny, and I miss you, Donny
You're gonna always be a friend to me
Miss you, Donny
Yeah, I miss you, Donny

ive loved this song from a little boy... im 42 now and love it even more . Legend Whispers
Love this song
Love the whispers since I was an little girl they never get old too me
Donny Hathaway was my favorite male singer and Phyllis Hyman was my favorite female singer and I'm still trying to find a replacement for Donny. I listen to Rachelle Ferrell because she has a fantastic voice, with an even greater range than Phyllis had. It's so sad that both Donny and Phyllis took their own lives. Phyllis was such a troubled woman, to be so talented and so beautiful. Such terrible loss of two beautiful people.
Sounds like donny Hathaway this Christmas
Great tribute from the Whispers to Donny Hathaway 😍😉😎🙏rip Donny Hathaway genius of Soul forever
just lost my aunty this morning and thought about thus song r.i.p aunty kem and mr hathaway
I love when men dressed up like these men dressed. My Mom and Dad use to dress in full length ball gowns and tux for a night out on the town, all while listening to music like this.
giving me goosebumps 🥵
I wish I had friends like this that love me in such a profound and heart rendering way like these brothers loved Mr. Hathaway. He totally deserved their love and respect and they totally deserve our love and respect for such a beautiful thoughtful tribute such as this.
