singer in bluegrass music, Whitley moved to Nashville,
Tennessee, in 1983 and began his recording career

singles, "I Wonder Do You Think of Me",
"It Ain't Nothin'", and "I'm Over You", were released
after his death.
"When You Say Nothing at All" is a countrysong written by Paul
Overstreetand Don Schlitz.
It was a hit song for three different performers: Keith Whitley,
who took it to the top of the BillboardHot Country Singleschart on December 24, 1988; Alison Krauss,
whose version was her first solo top-10 country hit in 1995; and Irish pop
singer Ronan Keating,
whose version was his first solo single and a chart-topper in the United
Kingdom, Ireland, and New Zealand in 1999.
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
[Chorus]
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
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now 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 Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
[Chorus]

Blue jean baby, LA
lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed
Pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in
the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughts
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes
his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on
She sings the songs
The words she knows
The tune she hums
But oh how it feels
so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny
dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny
dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, LA
lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed
Pirate smile
You married the music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
But oh how it feels
so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer, tiny
dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today.

Highway run
into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be
