If Silence Is Golden

If silence is golden like they say it to be

If silence is golden then how rich I must be

Once this house with love and laughter used to sing

So much happiness through rafters seemed to ring

Now you're gone there's only silence from the bottom to the top

It's so quiet now I can almost hear a teardrop

If silence is golden...

Once this room with footsteps echoed everywhere

Sounds of happy people walking here and there

Then one day a past divided you walked out and didn't stop

It's so quiet now I can almost hear a teardrop

If silence is golden...

If silence is golden then how rich I must be
