Letting It Show

Words and Music by Christopher Kent

It’s getting close to sunset on a perfect summer day
The smell of flowers in the air, the wind across the bay
We both have had a thousand promises whispered in our ear
But we don’t need a single word to make our feelings clear
So now I put my arm around you
It’s just to let you know
Sometimes the best way to say I love you
Is just letting it show

On a cold December evening the rain is coming down
You’re staring out the window at the silent town
Sometimes we lose a dream or two and the rain just doesn’t care
But when someone’s there beside you, it’s easier to bear
So if I put my arm around you
It’s just to let you know
Sometimes the best way to say I love you
Is just letting it show

Some folks don’t make out so well in matters of the heart
They say the words they’re supposed to say
But the whole thing falls apart
Well, actions say much more than words
And you know what I’m saying
The love I have for you will be staying

We’ve seen some good times and some bad
Everybody does
But love was always on our side, and we always knew it was
And in the end, no matter what, we’re going to make it through
‘Cause we have something I can feel
Every time I look at you
So we won’t say those words today
‘Cause we already know
Sometimes the best way to say I love you
Is just letting it show
