Lynn Anderson Lyrics
"If Silence Is Golden"

(Liz Anderson)

(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
Like they say it to be
If silence is golden
Then how rich I must be.

--- Instrumental ---

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
Like they say it to be
If silence is golden
Then how rich I must be.

If silence is golden
Then how rich I must be...
