Ricky Nelson - The Loneliest Sound lyrics

rate me

(D. Burgess, J. Best)

The saddest sounds are the words goodbye

The softest sounds are the tears I cry

You walked away, and then I found

A heart that breaks is the loneliest sound.

The cruelest sound that I have known

Is the silence when I'm left alone

You broke my heart and turned me down

And now I've heard the loneliest sound.

The words that you found someone new

Keep pounding and pounding in my brain

And your footsteps as you walk, you walk away

Keep adding, adding to my pain.

The happiest sound I'll never hear

Are just three words, oh I love you my dear

So I guess I'll hang around

Hearing just the loneliest sound.

Drives me crazy

Can't stand it anymore

Aw it's getting to me...
