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
