In a manner of speaking

I just want to say 

That I could never forget the way 

You told me everything 

By saying nothing 

In a manner of speaking 

I don't understand 

How love in silence becomes reprimand 

But the way I feel about you 

Is beyond words 



Oh give me the words 

Give me the words 

That tell me nothing 

Oh give me the words 

Give me the words 

That tell me everything 



In a manner of speaking 

Semantics won't do 

In this life that we live 

We only make do 

And the way that we feel 

Might have to be sacrificed 



So in a manner of speaking 

I just want to say 

That like you I should find a way 

To tell you everything 

By saying nothing 



Oh give me the words 

Give me the words 

That tell me nothing 

Oh give me the words 

Give me the words 

Give me the words 

Give me the words 

Give me the words
