Silence Do the Rest Lyrics

I must admit I can't sit back
And listen anymore
To how things really ought to be
Excuses by the score
And I won't look back on the things we've done
And say it's all for the best
I'll shut the book and I'll close the door
And let silence do the rest
And you never looked much further
Than your eyes would care to see
Included in your vision
I suppose that there was me
But how can I stand out amongst
So many of the best
I'll shut the book and I'll close the door
And let silence do the rest
And if our paths should cross again
I'll smile and walk away
For we could take forever
But there's nothing more to say
And when you go I'll ask of you
To grant one more request
Just shut the book and close the door
And let silence do the rest
So life will be an endless stream
Of things that could have been
And memories come flooding back
And help to paint the scene
But when I wake and find you gone
I'll hope it's all for the best
I'll shut the book and I'll close the door
And let silence do the rest
I'll shut the book and I'll close the door
And let silence do the rest
