Crystal Gayle - The Sound Of Goodbye lyrics

rate me

We kissed goodnight<br />

And we turn out the light<br />

And we lay side by side in the dark<br />

And we're waiting for sleep or a spark<br />

But the night's on the run<br />

And the spark does not come<br />

And we quietly worry and wonder<br />

And the silence is louder than thunder<br />

And it rings with the sound of goodbye<br />

(Chorus)<br />

It rings with the sound of goodbye<br />

I can't even tell you just why<br />

It may be the truth or it may be a lie<br />

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye<br />

We can talk of the weather<br />

We can talk of the news<br />

We can talk of the talk of the town<br />

There's another true love going down<br />

We can talk about promises, talk about lies<br />

But there's no use pointing our fingers<br />

And the sound of 'I love you' still lingers<br />

But it rings with the sound of goodbye<br />

It rings with the sound of goodbye<br />

I can't even tell you just why<br />

It may be the truth or it may be a lie<br />

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye<br />

Time is forever<br />

But love is a fire<br />

And one day is one degree colder<br />

And the clock's tickin' over your shoulder<br />

And it ticks and it ticks, and it ticks and it ticks...<br />

And it ticks with the sound of goodbye<br />

I can't even tell you just why<br />

It may be the truth or it may be a lie<br />

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye<br />

Sound of goodbye<br />

I can't even tell you just why<br />

It may be the truth or it may be a lie<br />

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye<br />

(repeat once, fading out)
