Words Are Not Needed 1917 'Oh Boy!'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Mar 2005

A girl in love does not need words
to say so to a man.
For love has a language of its own.
Can she learn it?
She can.
Would he understand it?
Who!
Why the chap she's talking to.
If she didn't say a thing,
we don't see how he could.
It's an easy thing to do!
It's an easy thing to do.

If every day he reads the message
he sees in her eyes,
If, when he gazes fondly in them
she drops them and sighs.
Then he will know she loves him dearly,
whate'er may befall
so, now you understand
why words are not needed, at all.

If every day, he sends her diamonds
or pearls on a string,
If, every day, she gets a pendant
or bracelet or ring,
then she will know how
very deeply in love, he must be.
When people love each other
words are not needed, you see.

Then flowers are quite a help,
for each means something I am told.
A rose may say, I love you, dear!
Yes, we knew, but that's old.
Can't you tell us something new?
That's an easy thing to do.
For the language of the flowers
has been over done.
Jewels have their language too.
Jewels have their language too.

If every day he reads the message
he sees in her eyes,
If, when he gazes fondly in them
she drops them and sighs.
Then he will know she loves him dearly,
whate'er may befall
so, now you understand
why words are not needed, at all.

If every day, he sends her diamonds
or pearls on a string,
If, every day, she gets a pendant
or bracelet or ring,
then she will know how
very deeply in love, he must be.
When people love each other
words are not needed, you see.
