He stood looking at his father who is 85 years old

He remembered all the ball games they played so long ago

Then he put his arm around him and kissed him on the cheek

He said Dad, it's time I told you what a friend you've been to me



CHORUS: 'Cause when you love someone

You gotta let 'em know

When you're thinking of someone

You need to tell 'em so

Don't know what makes us think

Our minds and our hearts can be read

What's going without saying should be said



She stood in the kitchen doorway, all grown up with children, too

Watching as her mama cooked just like she used to do

She slowly walked up to her and she held her wrinkled hands

She said, do you know you are the greatest mom a daughter ever had



(REPEAT CHORUS)



No one needs a roses

When the sun of life's gone down

If you're gonna send a message of your love

Then send it now



I don't believe I've let you hear the things you should have heard

I don't believe I've truly put my feelings into words

'Cause to me you are so beautiful, much more then words can say

But if you don't mind and you've got the time

I'd like to try today



'Cause when you love someone

You gotta let 'em know

When you're thinking of someone

you need to tell 'em so

I don't know what makes me think

My mind and my heart can be read

What's going without saying

What's going without saying

What's going without saying should be said

What's going without saying should be said
