In A Manner Of Speaking

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 that 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

Give me the words
