Are there any other songs similar concept/lyricwise to "When You Say Nothing At All"?
I'm really into this song at the moment and am looking for songs with a similar concept: on subtle, intuitive love, maybe unspoken, but definitely along the lines of "there's something here between us that isn't the usual sort of relationship." I did a search on "similar songs" to this but got listings of songs that sound like it, and I don't so much care if they have the same chords/sound like it so much as I just like that kind of idea/theme.

The song “You Said Something” by PJ Harvey describes the moment when love unexpectedly blossoms into a special, profound connection. Lyrics, music

When you smile By Flaming Lips
"It's like I never had to see it in your eyes or feel it
I could tell
when you smile
It's like I didn't need to say anything or do much
I could tell
when you smile"

"More Than Words" by Extreme is close. The singer is asking for unspoken love. It's not 100% clear whether he's going to get it, I think.

I love Alison Krauss’s version of “Gentle on My Mind” for this.

Something in the Way She Moves by James Taylor - it goes in what I feel is a minorly sexist direction for a moment but otherwise lovely

Possible edge case, but I feel like Into My Arms by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds might be worth checking out.

Sunday Morning, Ani DiFranco"? ~Lyrics~
Sunday morning
You're doing your thing
And I am doing mine
Speaking words
More a formality
'Cause we can feel we
Are of one mind
