Can you fit words into the silence

Do you know what I mean?

Have you ever heard someone

When they haven’t said a word

Just listen-I’m saying it all to you

Everything that my lips cannot say

Words I do not know cannot escape

But I think you heard them anyway

Tears flowing down my cheeks until you look at me

They are happy tears but they refuse to let you see

I won’t open my mouth and ask you for words

Your eyes say it all to me, I understand

The music in your soul is radiating from them

And isn’t music more than words-even a feeling

Don’t let the duet end now

Don’t let your song die here

Let it draw nearer and brush against my hand

Look into my eyes and hear what I’m saying
