Lyrics

It’s a maz ing how you can speak right to my heart,

with out say ing a word

you can (D)light up the dark.

(C)Try as I may I can nev er ex plain

what I hear when you don’t say a thing.

The (G)smile on your face let’s me know that you need me.

There’s a (G)truth in your eyes say ing you’ll nev er leave me.

The (G)touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wher er I fall.

(Csus2)You say it best

when you say no thing at all.

The (G)smile on your face let’s me know that you need me.

There’s a (G)truth in your eyes say ing you’ll nev er leave me.

The (G)touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wher er I fall.

(Csus2)You say it best

When you say no thing at all.

The (G)smile on your face lets me know that you need me.

There’s a (G)truth in your eyes say in’ you’ll nev er leave me.

The (G)touch of your hand says you’ll catch me where ev er I fall.

(Csus4)You say it best

when you say no thing at all.

(G)You say it best when you say (Csus2)no thing at all.

(G)You say it best when you say (Csus2)no thing at all.

That (G)smile on your face,

there’s (Csus2)truth in your eyes.

The (G)touch of your hand lets me know that you (G)need me.

(G)You say it best when you say (Csus2)no thing at all.

(G)You say it best when you say (Csus2)no thing at all.

That (You say it best when you say no thing at all.)

(You say it best when you say no thing at all.)
