Discover the story of the song > Whispering Grass (Don’t Tell the Trees) – The Ink Spots

The song is about how the grass seems to be whispering secrets to the trees, but the protagonist thinks it's silly because the trees don't need to know. The grass shouldn't even tell the breeze because then everyone will find out, as the breeze will tell the birds and bees. The protagonist advises the grass not to tell the trees anything because it's not a secret anymore and the old things are already buried under the snow.
