Three unspoken words
(A. Resnick, Bobby Scott)
(Esther Ofarim, 1964)

Oh, three unspoken words can make you cry
can make you cry
can make you cry

I stood there in his arms
spoke to him so tenderly
I asked him if he loved me
but he did not answer me

Oh, three unspoken words can make you cry
can make you cry
can make you cry

All the world was silent
and waiting for a word
"but I'm sorry, so sorry"
was the only thing I heard.

Then tears filled my eyes
as I watched him walk away
my poor heart was breaking
there was nothing I could say

Oh, three unspoken words can make you cry
can make you cry
can make you cry
Yes, three unspoken words can make you cry
can make you cry
can make you cry
