In the 1970s Congregation

This British band was originally called The Congregation who had a Stateside No. 29 hit, but a UK No. 4  with Softly Whispering I Love You, on Signpost records.

The band consisted of Brian Keith and session singers only. It was a one hit wonder.

It was also a cover by David and Jonathon, who were really Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook they and named after the biblical characters.

Lyrics

Softly, whispering I love you,
Echoes of your voice are calling still through my dreams,
Softening the chill of the breeze.

Through my window,
I can see the moonglow,
Painting silver shadows on a rose-coloured land

A world that we walk hand in hand
In a day of gold
Coloured by the glow of new love.

Oh, Woman, I can feel your warm face ever close to my lips
and the scent of you invades the cool evening air.

I can close my eyes and you´re there in my arms still
And I know your soft kiss,
Turning into music every beat of my heart,
