Silent Ways

When you asked me
Michelle, do you love me?
I did not know what to say
So I just laid down beside you
and loved you in a silent way
And when you asked me
To forgive you
For all your cheating days
I just laid down beside you
And forgave you in a silent way
Oh, silence is golden
And words are made of lead
And in the alchemy of love
Some things are better left unsaid
And when you told me
You were leaving me
I did not ask you to stay
But my eyes told no lies
And my tears fell in a silent way
