    Chorus:
    The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
    You say it best
    When you say nothing at all

      Just heard it today for the first time in a long time. I dont listen to Country music as much as i used to, but everytime i do, i realize how great music truly used to be. You actually feel something , makes ya think of family or loved ones…
      Now i just feel today’s music is just so… Empty? Emotionless? Its strange, but this was and always be quality music.

      The first time I heard this song was in 1971 Billy Bob Thornton went to Philadelphia MS to visit Marty Stuart and he brought back a Demo Paul Overstreet had given him on a cassette tape. Billy Bob checked out a Panasonic cassette player from the library at Thomas Jefferson Academy and played this song until the tape wore out.
      One of my friends told me (Charley Pride's fiddle player) that Keith was recording a Paul Overstreet song, I knew he was working on Don't Close Your Eyes by John David Smith, but back then people did a lot of talking, I didn't think much about any of it. When Keith started getting some local airplay and I heard his version of When you say nothing at all, I said, Wait a minute, I've been playing and singing this song for friends and family since 1971. 😊now they'll tell me I've been doing it wrong for 20 +/- years. Keith killed it, that's for sure. Hope he found peace.

    This song was in the movie Notting Hill, and my mother had that soundtrack. My dad used to hold me as a baby & dance me around their modest little bedroom. I almost lost my dad last year, but he beat literally all odds & survived. I’m getting married this November, and by the grace of God, my father will be there to walk me down the aisle. This song holds so much weight in my heart & soul.

    What I hear when you don't say a thing
    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
    Now you say it best when you say nothing at all
    All day long I can hear people talking out loud
    But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
    Old Mister Webster could never define
    What's being said between your heart and mine
    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
    Now you say it best when you say nothing at all
    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

      His wife and son do. That's at least some consolation. "Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal" - Ernest Hemingway.

      One of Life's mysteries; maybe he does and can feel just how much his talent touched humanity. I'd like to think that's the way it is.

    I really think country music peeked between 1980 and 2000, and this is one of the songs I would use as an example.

    What an impact he would’ve made in country music had he lived longer. As it was he still displayed how special of a talent he was… the humility he possessed…
    and his voice was magic.
    You are missed Keith Whitley.
