Verse 1
I was just a boy with freckles, kicking stones across the grass
I really missed my grandpa since he passed
Grandma said that he loved me more than I would ever know
With tear-filled eyes I asked why he never told me so

Chorus 1
(She said) Love Isn't Always Said With Words
It's more than what you haven't heard
It's the time that you and Grandpa shared
And all the ways he showed he cared
Open up your heart and you will learn
That Love Isn't Always Said With Words

Verse 2
My daughter's doing cartwheels and her grandpa laughs
She smiles and takes a bow, then he claps
He gives my little girl a hug and a thought runs through my mind
How Grandma knew the simple truth and someday I would find

Chorus 2
(That) Love Isn't Always Said With Words
It's more than what I haven't heard
It's time together that we share
It's all the ways we show we care
I opened up my heart and I have learned
That Love Isn't Always Said With Words

Bridge
Sometimes we don't say I love you
To the ones that we hold dear
But watching Dad with my little girl
I see love speaking loud and clear

Chorus 3
Love Isn't Always Said With Words
It's more than what you haven't heard
It's time together that we share
It's all the ways we show we care
Open up your heart and you will learn
That Love Isn't Always Said ...
