[This also uses the capo on the first fret.]

Words:
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain 
What I hear when you don't say a thing

CHORUS
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me, if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

CHORUS, Twice

At the end of the song, Union Station doesn't play the A chord after the G
again, just keeps playing the G for two measures.

Beautiful song!  I had the privilege of hearing this song in concert.
Alison, if you're reading this, would you play at my wedding?
