When you asked me   "Michelle, do you love me?"   I did not know what to say   So I just laid down beside you   And loved you in a silent way      And when you asked me to forgive you   For all your cheating days   I just laid down beside you   And forgave you in a silent way      Silence is golden   Words are made of lead   And in the alchemy of love, you know   Some things are better left unsaid      And when you told me you were leaving me   I did not ask you to stay   But my eyes told no lies and   My tears fell in a silent way      Oh, silence is golden   And words are made of lead   And in the alchemy of love, you know   Some things are better left unsaid      One more time I say      Silence is golden   Words are made of lead   And in the alchemy of love, you know   Some things are better left unsaid      And in the alchemy of love, you know   Some things are better left unsaid
