You don't have to say a thing
The silence is sweet;
We've been together today
In a way we might never repeat
Oh, your head on the pillow
The distance in your eyes –
Already you might be
Rehearsing the word "Goodbye"
When the evening comes of this perfect day
When the shadows run will you look away
Will you slip away?
Don't tell me anything
You don't have to say a word
All too well I understand:
There's a nervous tension
In the touch of your gentle hand
That makes me afraid –
I've seen you like this before...
The moment you find somebody new
You find yourself bored
Oh, I don't want to lose you
When the evening comes of this perfect day
When the shadows run will you look away
Will you slip away?
Don't tell me anything
Now the evening's come
Now I'm left alone;
Now the pa**ion's done
And you're going home...
Oh, when will you telephone?
You don't tell me anything
No, you don't even tell me
The bell won't ring
