When you say nothing at all

The first thing I saw were your eyes

They were cold and filled with pain

Something about them soothed my soul

Like a parched desert drenched with rain

From a stranger you became a friend

Sharing with me your fancies and fears

I could see and feel myself in you

As I longed to wipe away your tears

Lost you had, your loved one

The void never seemed to fill

I did not want to replace her

But fall in love I did still

I should have held myself back

I was not allowed to love

I was only a short time guest

Soon I had to return above

But the love and courage in your eyes

Seemed to fill the hole in my heart

I felt healthy and filled with life

As you were filling up my joy cart

You wanted us to last forever

In my love you were thriving

How could I tell you the truth?

That day by day I was dying

I did not want to cause you more hurt

I wanted you to embrace life

You deserved to be loved and happy

Somewhere deep burying the strife

They said that all I had was a day

I did not want to burden you with sorrow

I used silence as the best weapon

Did not want to tell you I'd be gone tomorrow

Love is never supposed to end

I'd love you even after I close my eye

Hold me like a memory and look forward

New beginnings only arrive after a good bye

Don't say a word, just hold me close

Let me soak it all in before I fall

Because life sometimes is more beautiful

When you say nothing at all
