{ Lyrics } 
D       G       G       D 
Never a word, a word so true 
D         G        G      C 
Passed between us, me and you 
D               G        G  D 
Heard you found your pot of gold 
D          G     G         G 
That's the story I've been told 
 
Never a word was said in vain 
Some were never sad again 
Some were lost in lovers' heat 
Some lay fallen at our feet 
 
All day all night 
You and only you 
All day all night 
I think of you and only you 
 
Never a word escaped my lips 
Silenced by your fingertips 
I kept my word, can you believe 
All this time so hard to breathe 
Hard to breathe
