When You Say Nothing at All Lyrics

When You Say Nothing at All Lyics Sung by Ronan Keating

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.

[Chorus:]
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.
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall.
You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear
People talking out loud (oooh).
But when you hold me near (you hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd).

Try as they may, they can never define
What’s been said between your heart and mine.

(You say it best when you say nothing at all.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.)

That smile on your face,
The truth in your eyes,
The touch of your hand
Lets me know that you need me.

(You say it best when you say nothing at all.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.)

[Live version additional ending:]
The smile on your face,
The look in your eyes,
The touch of your hand
Lets me know that you need me.

Facts About the Song When You Say Nothing at All Lyrics by Ronan Keating

When You Say Nothing at All Lyrics were originally written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz as a country song. It is among the best-known hit songs for three different performers: Keith Whitley, who took it to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart on December 24, 1988; Alison Krauss, whose version became her first solo top-10 country hit in 1995; and Irish pop singer Ronan Keating, whose version was his first solo single and a chart-topper in the United Kingdom in 1999.

Overstreet and Schlitz came up with “When You Say Nothing at All” at the end of an otherwise unproductive day. Strumming a guitar, trying to write their next song, they were coming up empty. “As we tried to find another way to say nothing, we came up with the song,” Overstreet later told author Ace Collins. They thought the song was OK, but nothing special. When Keith Whitley heard it, he loved it, and was not going to let it get away.Earlier, he had recorded another Overstreet-Schlitz composition that became a No. 1 hit for another artist – Randy Travis’ “On the Other Hand.” Whitley did not plan to let “When You Say Nothing at All” meet the same fate.

Ronan Keating

“When You Say Nothing at All” is the debut solo single by Irish singer-songwriter Ronan Keating. The song was recorded in 1999 for the soundtrack of the film Notting Hill. It also appeared on Keating’s debut solo album, Ronan. The song was released on July 26, 1999 in the United Kingdom. It peaked at number-one in the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand. In the UK, the single was certified gold. Keating has received a lot of bad press in recent years passing off the song as his own work when he, in fact, covered the original.
