The Things We Never Said

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

We all keep secrets locked inside

And some we never say

Even if it breaks a heart

Sends someone on their way

‘Cause sometimes it is hard to say

The things we really feel

And so we keep them locked inside

And never to reveal

If I could do it all again

I’d say the things I never said

I’d shout them from a mountain top

If back to you it led

I’d write them all across the sky

And push the clouds away

So everyone could read my words

And this is what I’d say

Of all the people I have known

You are my only love

The one I had always hoped to find

Was always dreaming of

If I should live a million years

I know I’ll never find

Another person just like you

So warm and sweet and kind

We go through life in search of love

But rarely do we find

The one with whom we’re meant to be

So gentle on our mind

And sometimes with that special one

We leave some words unsaid

That could have made a difference

In the lives that we have led

Can we give love another try

Would that be such a crime?

And say what’s in our hearts

And get our hearts to beat in time

We’ll say the things we truly feel

The words we never said

And maybe this time we’ll find love

And happiness instead

If I could do it all again

I’d say the things I never said

I’d shout them from a mountain top
If back to you it led

I’d write them all across the sky

And push the clouds away

And maybe when you hear my words
Then you’ll decide to stay
