(Nanci Griffith)
|
I should have known that you were gone back in Germany
|
You told me in the dark while I was sleeping
|
Then you slept through the sunrise
|
As it washed across your face
|
And all that I had heard were our hearts beating
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Talk to me while I'm listening
|
While this love has a voice that we both
|
Can hear
|
Before you let it go...
|
The greatest love I've ever known
|
Won't you please
|
Talk to me
|
While I'm listening
|
|
I cannot find a place to put this love away
|
Or lose the thought of sunlight on your face
|
I thought I heard your voice
|
Say I love you today
|
But it was only the sound of my heart breaking
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
How I wish that I could take us back to Germany
|
I would stay awake and you would talk to me
|
Yet for every drop of rain I hear
|
There's bound to fall another tear
|
Upon this page of song of my heart aching
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Before you let it go...
|
This greatest love I've ever known
|
Won't you please
|
Talk to me
|
While I'm listening
|
Talk to me
|
Talk to me
|
|
