When You Say Nothing At All [Alison Krauss And Union Station]


Written by Don Schlitz and Paul Overstreet

It's amazing how you, can speak right to my heart.
Without sayin' 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.
The touch of your hand, says you'll catch me, if ever I fall.
You say it best, when you say nothin' at all.

All day long I can hear, people talking out loud.
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd.
Ol' Mr. 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.
The touch of your hand, says you'll catch me, if ever 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 touch of your hand, says you'll catch me, if ever I fall.
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.
