Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart, ooh
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark, oh

Try as a may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing
You don’t say a thing

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
The touch of hands, says you’ll catch me whenever I fall, oh
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking aloud, yeah
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they 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 your eyes, saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of hands, says you’ll catch me whenever I fall, oh
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Yeah, ah

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
I know you’ll catch me whenever I fall, oh
You say it best when you say nothing at all

It’s so amazing, without you saying a word
I know you’ll catch me, you’ll never leave me alone
Alone
