Rewrite (Minor) "The Silence of My Heart" - Thank you Peter and kathy
by
This should address the antiquated use of the word "depart"... still not sold on the inappropriateness of "yield" in the final refrain... not sure what I'd do with it if I was...
The Silence of My Heart
Inside myself so long
Trying to go on
Wondering if I can make another start
Hoping some day I'll find
Love's not deaf, just blind
And someone will hear the silence of my heart
Every heart needs a heart to talk to
Sharing its hopes and its fears
Every heart needs a heart to talk to
Silence speaks louder than tears
I let you see inside
Tried hard to confide
How lost love once tore my whole world apart
But pain can be survived
Hope can stay alive
That someone will hear the silence of my heart
Every heart needs a heart to talk to
Sharing its hopes and its fears
Every heart needs a heart to talk to
Silence speaks louder than tears
You found that place in me
No one else could see
And promised that we'd never be apart
A place that's deep and still
Only you could fill
Your love has heard the silence of my heart
Every heart needs a heart to listen to
Fears yield to hearts that are strong
Every heart needs a heart to listen to
And hopes turn silence to song
