She was my silent partner I miss my silent partner And I hope my silent partner's missing me Once I was blind with ambition and ascribed for fame The need for money seemed to ruin my mind I was just too blind to see a girl I loved was helping me And she'd been my silent partner all the time She was my silent partner I love my silent partner I never dreamed that she would set me free She was my silent partner I miss my silent partner And I hope my silent partner's missing me Just when I thought I'd reach the top I started down and couldn't stop And nobody seemed to care how far I'd fall Losing her has made me see what lots of wealth has done to me Yes I need my silent partner after all She was my silent partner I miss my silent partner And I hope my silent partner's missing me
