Hidden in the melodies you played
Line at a time, day after day
Tiny little gestures that you made
I heard it
Yeah, I heard it
Written in the laugh lines
on your face
A joke and a smile
were your embrace
Memories the years can not erase
And I could feel it
Yeah, I still feel it
You never said I love you
It was just that way
Love’s the kind of thing a man like you would rather do than say
Never said I love you
But that’s ok
You never said It
But I heard it anyway
All the every days you spent with me
Visiting with friends and family
Singing all our favorite songs in the key of D
I hear it
Yeah I still hear it
Simple little things I watched you do
Shaving in the mirror
Whistling a tune
All the times your joy lit up the room I feel it,
Yeah, I still feel it
It was the extra time
it was a look in the eye
let me know that I was precious to you
We were a hand and a glove
Never together enough
Showed me a kind of love
Unspoken but true
