"When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Krauss

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 saying 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

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes saying 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

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes saying 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

鄉村音樂（Country music），也稱鄉村與西部（Country and Western），是一種當代的流行音樂，起源於美國南部與阿帕拉契山區。鄉村音樂的根源可追溯至1920年代，融合了傳統民謠音樂、凱爾特音樂、福音音樂及古時音樂。1940年代，當鄉土音樂（hillbilly music）地位漸衰時，人們開始以統一的術語「鄉村音樂」作為稱呼，1970年代更大大普及，並在世界各地（除了美國及愛爾蘭）取代了「鄉村與西部」的稱呼 。

鄉村音樂出了兩位十分知名的暢銷歌手。一位是艾維斯·普利斯萊，人稱貓王，同時也是新音樂類型「搖滾樂」的代表人物。另一位，當代音樂家葛司·布魯克斯（Garth Brooks），擁有一億兩千八百萬專輯銷售量，則是美國史上最暢銷的歌手。
