  • 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

    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
    Now, 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 Mister 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 your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
    Now, 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 Writer/s: Donald Schlitz, Paul Overstreet
