Silent Love by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2025

[Verse 1]

Fathers love their children, but sometimes they don’t know how

They feel it in their hearts, but the words don’t come out now

Like being at sea, love that’s yet to grow

Some think love can be bought, some think love can be taught…

But love isn’t a lesson, it’s felt, not sought

A surprise when love hits, and you get caught...

Oooo…

[Pre-Chorus]

They try, they try, but the ways don’t always show

They hold it in, hide it away, but the love still flows...

[Chorus / Hook]

Silent love, is father love, but it’s not expressed

They try to show it, but tend to second-guess

Father’s love, still a rare bless...

Self-born love, the Truest kind

It lives inside, always on their mind

Even when they’re… in a bind...

[Verse 2]

Maybe fathers have voids, a hole in what love means

They never yearn language of hearts and of dreams

They never burn the flame of love’s gentle gleams

But love can start within, it’s that deep hidden glow

And from that spark of love, the deepest hearts can grow

Someday you’ll see the silent love they never show…

[Pre-Chorus]

They try, they try, but the ways don’t always show...

They hold it in, hide it away, but the love still flows.....

[Chorus / Hook]

Silent love is father love, but it’s not expressed

They try to show it, but tend to second-guess

Father’s love, still a rare bless…

Self-born love, the Truest kind

It lives inside, always on their mind

Even when they’re... in a bind...

Yeah…

[Bridge]

Silent love… fathers love, but not expressed

It's there in their hearts, even if it's suppressed

Still they love with all their heart, though it may be unseen

Silent love… love may be the Truest love there's ever been

Silent love… wooo…. father love, but it's not expressed

They try to show it, but tend to second-guess

Ooooo…yeah

[Final Chorus]

Silent love is Father love, but it's not expressed

They try to show it but tend to second guess

Father's Love, still a rare bless

Self-born love, the Truest kind

It lives inside, always on their mind

Even when they're in a, in a bind...

Yeah...

Silent love is father love, don't underestimate

Someday you'll realize it's what made you great

Made you, made you great...

Made you, made you great...

Made you great...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Silent Love 

Father Love

Oooooo…..  Oooooo…..  Oooooo

Silent Love...

Ooooo...

Made you great...
