Quiet Love

You see, my lover makes no sound His language is his hands I watch his fingers dance And try to understand I try to understand His elegant ballet In my heart I can hear The words he longs to say And so I've learned to speak A language he can hear To tell him how I feel Whenever he his near He lives around the block It's just a little walk We'll meet tonight at eight At eight tonight, we'll talk Oh my love, oh my love Quiet love, quiet love I am calm whenever you are near And somehow I can hear What your heart wants to say I have a small surprise To spring on you tonight I'm learning how to sign Please God I get it right It's something that you do With confidence and ease I'm clumsier than you This might come out Chinese But come and fill my heart Its never danced this way I'm nervous and it's hard I have so much to say I've always been afraid My dream seemed so unreal But now I bless this world For how you make me feel Oh my love, oh my love You are shy, so am I But if you would tell me that it's true You feel the way I do Then tomorrow can start As we are, together we'll grow old For wise men always say That in silence there's gold.
