When You Say Nothing At All Lyrics
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
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
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
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
With very few exceptions, I think original versions of songs are better than covers by a wide margin. This song, however, is one of those exceptions. I cannot say whether I like Alison Krauss's or Keith Whitley's version better because they are rather different different but they are both at the top of my list of favorite songs. This is one of the simplest love songs but that is what makes it so powerful. Though I find every line meaningful, the one that stands out to me the most is "Old Mr. Webster could never define/What's being said between your heart and mine." I am usually very analytical and tend to think in terms of quantities and definitions, but in the situations this song describes none of that applies and that one line captures the idea perfectly.
Ahhh...Mr. Webster...
Ahhh...Mr. Webster...
Keith Whitley, left Lori Morgan a widdow. This song is actually pretty sad for that reason alone.

Oh, and not only is Allison Krauss's voice angelic, she is also a bit revolutionary in the bluegrass genre as much as Emmoe Lou Harris, in that she opened doors for modern bands who are much more enjoyable than traditional bluegrass, but still remain true to their roots when music was more about story telling than the crap today.

I love this song ... Alison sings it so well and knowone else could sing it better....the perfect love song..
I love this song so much!!! U know, A guy named Keith Whitley sang it first. He sings it well, but he died, like a long time ago. I think they did a duet of this song. u r right britty, she has a gorgeous voice and she is the only person who could even do this song justice. (except Keith Whitley, of course)
I just think her presentation of this song is better than that by Ronan Keating.
The way I took this song is that she is in love (obviously). Its all about trust.... she can trust him with her life... " The touch of your hand says youll catch me whenever I fall...". They can just look at eachother and know how they feel "You say it best when you say nothing at all."
This is like my all time favorite song! And Alison does a GrAtE job singin it!!... This is like the sweetest song ever... its about how she has this connection w/ some1.... and without even talking.. he tells her more than words could say!! Awww!! I LOVE IT!! :P
I LOVE YOU GEOFF!!
this is one of my favorite songs. it's simply about two people who are so in love that they don't even have to say "i love you". it's really romantic and it's awesome.
this song can be about a special person (boyfriend, sister, friend) i no it relates to my friend and me we dont need words to understand eachother we have eachother and thats all that matters
