Lyrics A Quiet Thing (Live) - Sierra Boggess

When it all comes true
Just the way you planned
It's funny
But the bells don't ring
It's a quiet thing

When you hold the world in your trembling hand
You'd think you'd hear a choir sing
But it's a quiet thing

There are no exploding fireworks
Where's the roaring of the crowd
Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds

But I don't hear the drums
I don't hear the band
The sounds I'm told such moments bring

Happiness comes in on tiptoe
Well what do ya know
It's a quiet thing
A very quiet thing
