Mom I don't even need to google this one because I love her..Dusty Springfield. I believe I have a rendition of this by Elvis too. I remember her as being the first though. Here are the lyrics for you..I just couldn't resist.
You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
(When I said I needed you,
You said you would always stay.
It wasn't me who changed but you,
And now you've gone away.
Don't you see that now you've gone,
And I'm left here on my own.
That I have to follow you,
And beg you to come home.
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand.
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you,
But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory,
Life seems dead and so unreal.
All that's left is loneliness,
There's nothing left to feel.
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand.
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.
Believe me, believe me, believe me....
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand.
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.
Believe me, believe me, believe me....
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
