When You Say Nothing At All

Alison Krauss



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 can never explain

what i hear when 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 your hand

says you'll catch me wherever i fall

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 the crowd

try as they may they can never define

what's been 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 tough of your hand says you'll catch me 

wherever i fall

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

the tough of your hand says you'll catch me 

wherever i fall

you say it best when you say nothing at all
