Silent Voices

(album: Valley Of The Dolls - 1968)

I think of you when I'm alone
And dark of night begins to fall,
I hear the things we used to say,
Those tender things I still recall
And when your words come back to me,
That's when I need you most of all,
My love, oh my love!

Then, in the desperation
Of all my secret longing,
I try forgetting you,
But no, how can I?
Our words of love and laughter
Will live forever after,
Though they were spoken long ago.

And so each night I think of you,
And hear the words we used to say,
My love, oh my love!

I hear the silent voices,
Those endless silent voices,
And then the sound begins
To build within me,
And as the night gets longer,
They keep on growing stronger,
Until they're driving me insane,
And then they're tearing me apart,
That's how I know you'll always be,
The love that's always in my heart.

I still can feel your tender lips,
The lips that promised to be true,
And just as long as I can breathe,
In dreams I'll keep believing you,
My love, oh my love!

I hear the silent voices,
Those endless silent voices,
And then the sound begins
To build within me,
And as the night gets longer,
They keep on growing stronger,
Until they're driving me insane,
And then they're tearing me apart,
That's how I know you'll always be,
The love that's always in my heart.
