“Darling, you can't promise that…but I like to hear you say it.”

“One thing I can't keep seem to say,
is I'm not done with you,
still can't get over you,
you don't wanna hear that,
you likely never will,
these dreams I have about you,
this brokenness I feel.”

Marian Renta

“If you see my darling
Out there in the crowd,
Say I still remember
Promises we vowed.
Yesterday was dreaming,
But my dream came tumbling down.
Call the boys and tell them,
Say I won't be there.”

Tom Springfield (1934) English musician, songwriter and record producer

“You don't have to say I love you to say I love you," you said with a shrug. "All you have to do is say my name and I know."

…"Can't you hear it?" you said. "When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.”

Jodi Picoult (1966) Author

“I can't hear a word you're saying

“Yes, I know," "And I love to hear you say it, Louis. I need to hear you say it. I don't think anyone will ever say it quite like you do. Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!”

Anne Rice book The Queen of the Damned

“I see your lips moving, but I can't hear you!”

“But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place.
Still it's the world that I'm in.
Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say.
Knowing you're watching me from far away
Somewhere that I've never been.”

Billy Joel (1949) American singer-songwriter and pianist

“Hear, hear," said the Dog, raising her head. "It's always better to be doing, Prince. Besides, you don't smell like a coward, so you can't be one.”
