Never Said Much

 

Never Said Much

by Richard Lawry

Quiet in the hallway

Head down low

Too shy for the girls

They didn't know

New school, old nerves

I couldn't start

Then you walked in

And stole my heart

Never said much

But I felt it all

Love was knocking

In the school hall

I never said much

Until I knew

That my whole life

Was waiting on you

History class

Harris Pine indoors

Me making dressers

You making drawers

Lost my job

Standing up for right

Found a flower

In a soda can

To my delight

Never said much

But I felt it all

Love was knocking

In the school hall

I never said much

Until I knew

That my whole life

Was waiting on you

First date ride

Made me spin around

Got sick in the sky

Kept nothing down

You took me home

Washed my clothes clean

Said, Let's ride the train

Soft and sweet

Five hundred miles

Tried to pull us apart

Couldn't break the promise

Of a devoted heart

Never said much

But I felt it all

Love was knocking

In the school hall

I never said much

Until I knew

That my whole life

Was waiting on you

I never said much

But I knew for sure

Our kind of love

Was built to endure

Same place, same time

I finally knew

My whole life

I was waiting on you

Never said much

But I felt it all

Love was knocking

In the school hall

I never said much

Until I knew

That my whole life

Was waiting on you

I never said much

But I chose you
