When You Say Nothing At All
Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Keith Whitley



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

Chorus:
The smile on your face let's 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

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

(Chorus twice)
