Willy Russell
I’m Not Saying a Word (1995 London Cast Version)
[EDWARD]
If I could stand inside his shoes I'd say
"How can I compare thee to a summer's day?"
[LINDA]
Go away
[EDWARD]
I'd take a page in all the papers
I'd announce it on the news
If I was the guy
If I was in his shoes
[LINDA]
I'm not with y'
[EDWARD]
If I was him I'd bring you flowers
And ask you to dance
We'd while away the hours making future plans
For rainy days in country lanes
And trips to the sea
I'd just tell you that I love you
If it was me
But I'm not saying a word
(Saying a word)
I'm not saying I care
(Saying I care)
Though I would like you to know
That I'm not saying a word
(Saying a word)
I'm not saying I care
(Saying I care)
Though I would like you to know
If I was him I'd have to tell you
What I've kept in my heart
That even if we had to live
Some worlds apart
There would not be a day
In which I'd not think of you
If I was him, if I was him
That's what I'd do
But I'm not saying a word
(Saying a word)
I'm not saying I care
(Saying I care)
Though I would like you to know
That I'm not saying a word
(Saying a word)
I'm not saying I care
(Saying I care)
Though I would like you to know
[spoken]
[EDWARD]
But I'm not
[LINDA]
What?
[EDWARD]
