Silent Movie

(corky laing/ian hunter)



Well the school bell rings

I carried your things

Getting on the yellow bus

With the whole world watching us



And our love was like a silent movie

Ain't got nothing to say

Our love was like a silent movie

I wish we could have kept it that way



Now the door bell rings

I'm gonna get my things

Take another bright (? )

At the lion's side



Cause our love was like a silent movie

Ain't got nothing to say

Our love was like a silent movie

That's the all-american way



Silent movie



And our love was like a silent movie

There's nothing to say

Our love was like a silent movie

And that's the all-american way



And our love was like a silent movie

There's nothing to say

Our love was like a silent movie

I wish we could have kept it that way



Our love was like a silent movie

Silent movie

Our love was like a silent movie

I wish we could have kept it that way
