silent voices

dionne warwick

i think of you when i'm alone

and dark of night begins to fall

i hear the things we used to say

those tender things i still recall

and when your words come back to me

that's when i need you most of all

my love

oh my love!

then

in the desperation

of all my secret longing

i try forgetting you

but no

how can i?

our words of love and laughter

will live forever after

though they were spoken long ago. and so each night i think of you

and hear the words we used to say

my love

oh my love!

i hear the silent voices

those endless silent voices

and then the sound begins

to build within me

and as the night gets longer

they keep on growing stronger

until they're driving me insane

and then they're tearing me apart

that's how i know you'll always be

the love that's always in my heart. i still can feel your tender lips

the lips that promised to be true

and just as long as i can breathe

in dreams i'll keep believing you

my love

oh my love!

i hear the silent voices

those endless silent voices

and then the sound begins

to build within me

and as the night gets longer

they keep on growing stronger

until they're driving me insane

and then they're tearing me apart

that's how i know you'll always be

the love that's always in my heart.
