Lyrics

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

With out say ing a word you can light up the dark.

(Ab)Try as I may I could nev er ex plain

(Bb)what’s what I hear when you don’t say a thing.

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

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

A (Eb)touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ev er I fall.

Now (Ab)you say it best

when you say noth ing at all.

All day long I can hear peo ple talk ing out loud,

but when you hold me near

you can drown out the crowd.

(Ab)Old Mis ter Web ster could nev er de fine

(Bb)what’s be ing said be tween your heart and mine.

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

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

A (Eb)touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ev er I fall.

Now (Ab)you say it best

when you say noth ing at all.

when you say noth ing at all.

The when you say noth ing at all.
