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
