The Sound Of Goodbye - Crystal Gayle

We kissed goodnight

And we turned out the lights

And lay side by side in the dark

And were waiting for sleep or a spark

But the nights on the run

And the spark does not come

And we quietly worry and wonder

And the silence is louder than thunder

And it rings with the sound of goodbye

It rings with the sound of goodbye

I can’t even tell you just why

It may be the truth or it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

We can talk of the weather

We can talk of the news

We can talk of the talk of the town

There’s another true love going down

We can talk about promises

Talk about lies

But there’s no use in pointing our fingers

And the sound of I love you still lingers

And it rings with the sound of goodbye

It rings with the sound of goodbye

I can’t even tell you just why

It may be the truth and it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

Time is forever and love is a fire

And one day it’s one degree colder

As the clocks ticking over your shoulder

And it ticks… and it ticks

And it ticks… and it tick

And it ticks with the sound of goodbye

I can’t even tell you just why

It may be the truth and it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
