Discover the story of the song > When you say nothing at all – Keith Whitley

This song talks about how the protagonist's partner can communicate their love without using any words. They can light up his heart and he can hear what they're saying without them saying anything. The smile on her face, a truth in her eyes, and a touch of her hand all let him know that she needs him and will catch him if he falls. Basically, the song is describing the power of nonverbal communication in a romantic relationship.
