When You Say Nothing At All Lyrics

It's amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

{chorus}
The smile on your face
Let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand
Says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Yeah, you say it best
When you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear
People talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in you eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand
Says you'll catch me
If ever I fall
Yeah, you say it best
When you say nothing at all

The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me
If ever I fall
Yeah, you say it best
When you say nothing at all

The person in thsi song is talking about how she loves her boyfriend/lover/spouse, and how, even if he doesn't say a word, she still knows he loves her. It's a great way of thinking of love...the idea that two people in love can exchange things without even talking is beautiful!

I heard this song a long time ago and I remember when I first heard this song, I started crying. It's a timeless song that I and others will love for all of eternity.

I'm torn between this version and the original singer (Keith Whitley). Either way, beautiful song about loving one another to the point where you don't need words to convey what you feel.
