In a Manner

In a manner of speaking, I just want to say

That I could never forget the way

You told me everything by sayin' nothing

In a manner of speaking, I don't understand

How love in silence becomes reprimand

But the way I feel about you is beyond words

Oh, give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me nothing

Oh, give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking, semantics won't do

In this life that we live, we only make do

And the way that we feel 

Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking, I just want to say

That like you, I should find a way

To tell you everything by saying nothing

(Oh, give me the words)

In a manner of speaking

I would like for you to know

Without the words to you, I can't show

(Give me the words)

All that we are is everything

Yet without your words, we are nothing

(That tell me nothing)

(Oh, give me the words)

In a manner of speaking

Semantics won't do

For you are everything

And everything is you

(Give me the words)

In this life we live, we must make do

(That tell me nothing)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)

(Give me the words)
