SILENCE IS GOLDEN 
(Jack Fulton / Lois Steele)

as recorded by
Jo Stafford & Vic Damone
with Paul Weston & his Orchestra
June 2nd 1957 Los Angeles


Break this silence, silence, silence,
Before you break my heart!

Silence is golden
When you are close to me;
When you are mine to see,
Silence is golden then!

But silence is lonely
When you are far away;
Oh how I'll bless the day
Silence is golden again!

Break this silence, silence, silence,
Before you break my heart!

Silence is golden
Only when you are near;
Oh how I long to hear
Silence that's golden again!

Silence is golden
Only when you are near;
Oh how I long to hear
Silence that's golden again!
