silent ways lyrics

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

Silence is golden
Words are made of lead
And in the alchemy of love, you know
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

Oh, silence is golden
And words are made of lead
And in the alchemy of love, you know
Some things are better left unsaid

One more time I say

Silence is golden
Words are made of lead
And in the alchemy of love, you know
Some things are better left unsaid

And in the alchemy of love, you know
Some things are better left unsaid
