Lyrics:

Intro (0:00)

Verse 1 (0:11)
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

Chorus (0:48)
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 where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

Verse 2 (1:27)
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, they can never define,
What's been said between your heart and mine

Chorus (2:01)
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 where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

Out Chorus
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 where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

Enjoy

James from Handsome Alvin
