In a Manner of speaking I just want to say That I could never forget the way You told me everything By saying nothing In a manner of speaking I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand But the way that i feel about you Is beyond words O give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing O give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do In this life that we live we live we only make do And the way that we feel Might have to be sacrified So in a manner of speaking I just want to say That just like you I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing In a manner of speaking I would like for you to know Without the words to you I can't show All that we are is everything And without your words we are nothing In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do You are everything And everything is you In this life we live We must may do (Chorus) Give me the words
