Talk To Me While I'm Listening Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Should have known that you were gone back in Germany 

You told me in the dark while I was sleeping 

Then you slept through the sunrise as it washed across your face 

And all that I had heard were our heart beating 

Talk to me while I'm listening now 

While this love has a voice that we both can hear 

Before you let it go greatest love I've ever known 

Won't you please talk to me while I'm listening? 

Cannot find a place to put this love away 

Or lose the thought of sunlight on your face 

I thought I heard your voice say I love you today 

But it was only the sound of my heart beating 

Talk to me while I'm listening now 

While this love has a voice that we both can hear 

Before you let it go the greatest love I've ever known 

Won't you please talk to me while I'm listening? 

How I wish that I could take us back to Germany 

I would stay awake and you would talk to me 

Yet for every drop of rain I hear there's bound to fall another tear 

Upon this page of song of my heart aching 

Talk to me while I'm listening now 

While this love has a voice that we both can hear 

Before you let it go the greatest love I've ever known 

Won't you please talk to me while I'm listening? 

Before you let it go this greatest love I've ever known 

Won't you please talk to me while I'm listening? 

Talk to me talk to me
