Lyrics

He said "I'm leaving little girl"

He said "There's nothing left to say"

My cries pierced through his air

Spilled tears and words to make him stay


He said "It's no use little girl

No, no, your talk won't make me stay

Your words won't make a difference"

Then he turned and walked away

He turned and walked away



Chorus:

Need one moment of silence
For my heart that died today
For the one who doesn't love me
For the man that went away
One moment of silence

One -moment of silence
While I bow my head and pray
I know I'll live
If you'll just give me one moment..
One moment of silence

(whispered)
"Hush"
I said "Hush now"

Instrumental bridge


This little girl's wounds still run deep

Though all the years have passed away

It doesn't matter what I do-no

It never matters what I say

Oh It doesn't matter little girl

It doesn't matter little girl(whispered echo behind this line)

None of my talk could make him stay

Words couldn't make a difference

He looked right through me, walked away

He walked away

He walked away!

Chorus:

Still need one moment of silence
For my heart that died that day
For the one who couldn't love me
For the man that went away
One moment of silence

One-moment of silence
While I bow my head and pray
I know I'll live
If you'll just give me one moment
One moment of silence

(whispered)

"Hush"

Said "Hush now"

Guitars conclude













He said "I'm leaving little girl"

He said "There's nothing left to say"

My cries pierced through his air

Spilled tears and words to make him stay


He said "It's no use little girl

No, no, your talk won't make me stay

Your words won't make a difference"

Then he turned and walked away

He turned and walked away



Chorus:

Need one moment of silence

For my heart that died today

For the one who doesn't love me

For the man that went away

One moment of silence


One -moment of silence

While I bow my head and pray

I know I'll live

If you'll just give me one moment..

One moment of silence

(whispered)

"Hush"

(lose instruments except for drum beat)

I said "Hush now"

(lose drum as well?)

Hmmm Hmmm
