When You Say Nothing At All...

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing...

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all...
~Alison Krauss~ When You Say Nothing At All...

Heather was deeply touched when she was asked to sing the solo at her cousin Steve's wedding in October of 2006. She was very nervous to sing for Steve and Amy. Steve had always been the one to sing at the family weddings. She felt very honored to be asked to do this. The song that they chose was by Alison Krauss, "When You Say Nothing At All."This was one of Heather's favorite songs. She and Lynn had sung karaoke to this song the last time she visited Myrtle Beach. Heather practiced for weeks leading up to the wedding. There was one part that she was really nervous about..it was a timing issue that she kept missing. She looked amazing as she always did. She sang just like an angel. She kept looking up because of her nerves..she is so expressive. Near the end of the video she looks away and has a smirk..she had gotten the timing right, looked at me and smiled..the look was "see momy..I did it right...."

  1. It took a long time until I was able to listen to this song again. "You'll never leave me" was hard to hear because they had left. When I finally realized that they didn't fully leave, as I able to listen to this beautiful song again. Thank you so very much for posting this video. <3 to listen to Heather's beautiful music!
