I can hear so much in your sighs And I can see so much in your eyes There are words we both could say But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat Being here with you feels so right We could live forever tonight Lets not think about tomorrow And don't talk put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat Listen, listen, listen. Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder Come close, close your eyes and be still
