When You Say Nothing At All
Lyrics by:Paul James Petty, Stuart Cable
Verse 1:
You stand alone in the dark of the night
The silence is so loud, it’s enough to drive you out of your mind
Your dreams have taken flight and now they’re nowhere to be found
And there’s nowhere left to turn
Pre-Chorus:
But you hold on to the memories
Of the love that you knew
And you pray that one day they’ll come back to you
When you say nothing at all
Chorus:
But when you say nothing at all
The memories will come back to you
When you speak them into life
The dreams will return, they’ll be as new
Verse 2:
You try to push them aside and forget about them all
But every time you try, they slip through your fingers like sand
And it’s hard to let go, but you know you have to
Because there’s no point in holding on
Pre-Chorus:
But you hold on to the memories
Of the love that you knew
And you pray that one day they’ll come back to you
When you say nothing at all
Chorus:
But when you say nothing at all
The memories will come back to you
When you speak them into life
The dreams will return, they’ll be as new
Bridge:
Sometimes in the silence you hear their laughter
In the night when it’s still, it carries on the air
It brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye
To know that they’re with you and not far away
Chorus: (Repeat)
When you say nothing at all
The memories will come back to you (Back to you)
When you speak them into life (Into life)
The dreams will return, they’ll be as new (As new)
Outro:
So when you feel lost and alone in the dark
Remember that your dreams are waiting for you to find them again (Again)
And when you speak them into life (Into life)
They’ll be as new and bright as the sun (As the sun)
