Verse 1:
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark

Prechorus 1:
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

Chorus:
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 your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall...
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

Verse 2:
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd

Prechorus 2:
Try as they may they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine

Chorus:
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 your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall...
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

(Solo)

Chorus:
Oooh, That 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 your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall...
You say it best... when you say nothing at all
