I've been seeking silver linings, feeling incomplete Singing, oh, I wish it didn't taste so bittersweet So when I'm not stuttered, stammered over, my voice was broke Like a poor man stood before the queen, I tripped over my tongue before I spoke And though I never said it with words, there was love in the silence Even now, after all of these years, you're the light in my darkness Used to share that feeling, dreaming, gazing at the bedroom ceiling, oh Now I'm laying here wishing you'd come home And though I never said it with words, there was love in the silence Even now, after all of these years, you're the light in my darkness Darling, please, listen close to your ear, there's still love in the silence Even now, after all of these long years, I feel love in the quiet Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh And though I never said it with words, there was love in the silence Even now, after all of these years, you're the light in my darkness Darling, please, listen close to your ear, there's still love in the silence Even now, after all of these long years, I feel love in the quiet
