Lyrics
Unspoken Words Are Most Painful
Words and music by Carmen Tomassetti ©1990
Verse 1
Pappa was a man
I've always looked up to
Oh, he worked so hard in his life
But he always seemed so blue
I tried to understand
His reasons for his restlessness,
His senselessness
'Till I couldn't take no more
But I was just a little bit younger
Not wise enough to understand that...
Chorus
Unspoken words are most painful
Living with unspoken words
You never know the meaning,
The caring and the sharing of your lives
With unspoken words
Verse 2
Pappa was a man
Who was filled with pride
I've never realized
Deep down inside
All we tried to hide
We tried to talk
But we'd just disagree
We could not see
That someday we'd both pay
But I was just a little bit younger
Not wise enough to understand that...
Chorus
Unspoken words are most painful
Living with unspoken words
You never know the meaning,
The caring and the sharing of your lives
With unspoken words
Bridge
Pappa died
Not so long ago
And I feel the strife of a broken heart
I'll bear the rest of my life
Oh but I'm told
Pappa he asked for me
His last words were "Tell my son...
Boy............... I LOVE YOU"
Verse 3
Pappa can you hear me?
Maybe I'm to blame
I never realized
Your life was cruel
But I loved you just the same
Oh but I gotta boy
And he looks just like you
And in his eyes
I can hear your voice saying
"SON I LOVE YOU"
Final Chorus / Outro
And now that I'm so much older
Wise enough to understand
That unspoken words are most painful
Believing that life goes on forever
Now I understand
To take every moment
And make a lasting memory
Without unspoken words
