Say Nothing

Tami and I have always like the song by Keith Whitley (later covered by Alison Krauss) called, "When you say nothing at all". It's basically about people who don't need words to know how the other know how they feel. I wouldn't necessarily say it's "our song", but we have both always liked it. It goes like this:

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 sayin' 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
Old 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 sayin' 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 sayin' 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

You married people know what I'm talking about. You usually know what your spouse is thinking. You can sometimes finish their sentences and you can read each others faces like a familiar book. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
