If Silence Is Golden
(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
