When You Say Nothing At All

Alison Kraus

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart.

Without saying a word, you light up the dark.

Try as I may I could never explain

What I feel when you don't say a thing.



The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

Theres a truth in your eye saying you'll never leave me

The touch of you hand says you'll catch me whenever 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 out the crowd.

Old Mr. Webster could never define

What's being said between your heart and mine.
