Lyrics
I never made a speech I never made a fuss I just watched you walking Down the road from us Shoes are clean and shining Back is standing tall I kept my smile hidden That was all Proud of you, quietly Proud of you, so proud Proud of you, quietly No need to say it loud Kettle on the stove Light across the floor You come in the kitchen Through the open door Only said well done Only passed the bread All the love is in the things Not said Proud of you, quietly Proud of you, so proud Proud of you, quietly No need to say it loud Look at you, look at you Grown up and true Look at you, look at you I knew, I knew Years go rolling by Hands that learned to try Heart is full and steady Underneath the sky Proud of you, quietly Proud of you, so proud Proud of you, quietly No need to say it loud Proud of you, quietly No need to say it loud
