Chorus:
The smile on your face let's 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 wherever I fall
You say it best
When you say nothing at all

Just heard it today for the first time in a long time. I dont listen to Country music as much as i used to, but everytime i do, i realize how great music truly used to be. You actually feel something , makes ya think of family or loved ones… Now i just feel today’s music is just so… Empty? Emotionless? Its strange, but this was and always be quality music.

The first time I heard this song was in 1971 Billy Bob Thornton went to Philadelphia MS to visit Marty Stuart and he brought back a Demo Paul Overstreet had given him on a cassette tape. Billy Bob checked out a Panasonic cassette player from the library at Thomas Jefferson Academy and played this song until the tape wore out. One of my friends told me (Charley Pride's fiddle player) that Keith was recording a Paul Overstreet song, I knew he was working on Don't Close Your Eyes by John David Smith, but back then people did a lot of talking, I didn't think much about any of it. When Keith started getting some local airplay and I heard his version of When you say nothing at all, I said, Wait a minute, I've been playing and singing this song for friends and family since 1971. 😊now they'll tell me I've been doing it wrong for 20 +/- years. Keith killed it, that's for sure. Hope he found peace.

This song was in the movie Notting Hill, and my mother had that soundtrack. My dad used to hold me as a baby & dance me around their modest little bedroom.

Lyrics 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 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 A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall Yeah, 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 Mister Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine 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 A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall Yeah, you say it best When you say nothing at all 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 A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall Yeah, you say it best When you say nothing at all

Thanks for the information Keith Whitley will be gone 32 years this may 9th and when we lost Keith Whitley we lost a true Legend at the age 33 years old when he passed away from alcohol addiction and his music still lives on forever

[@EmmasonArt]

For over 20 years, I looked for this song and today I am here❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@realmsunreal]

This is actually my first time hearing this version, I only found it because I recognized the song by a cover artist in a scene from the film Notting Hill so i got curious. I grew up with the Alison Krauss version so it has a special sentimental value, probably like a lot of others of my generation. I think it's nice that the song still survives in different generations- each version has it's own charm and it's own following. The song was actually written by songwriters Don Schlitz and Paul Overstreet. I think songwriters often don't get enough credit for creating such iconic, enduring songs and it's a shame

[@jessebrown9046]
