Here's the #lyrics to "When You Say Nothing At All" by Ronan Keating.

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 can 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, wherever 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
(crowd)
Try as they may, they can never define what's been 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, wherever 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, wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Lets me know that you need me

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)

With ❤️ Valentine's Day 💘 being only a few days away, surely many are thinking of what to give 🎁 to their loved ones. But, do you know where the tradition of gift giving originates from?

Well, It actually come from the life story of Saint Valentine. Here is his story...

@englishfortomorrow

St. Valentine's Story

#reading
#intermediate and above

Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor 👑 named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.

Claudius wanted to have a big army ⚔. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious 😡. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow 🚫 any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel 👺. I thought it was preposterous 😲! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!

Did I mention that I was a priest 👼? One of my favorite activities was to marry couples 💑. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit 🕯 room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers 🛡.

One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped 🏃 in time. I was caught ⛓. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.

I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers 🌺 and notes 💌 up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love 💝.

One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up 🙂. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."

I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember, and most importantly, think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten!
