Crystal Gayle The Sound Of Goodbye Lyrics

The Sound Of Goodbye Lyrics

We kissed goodnight
And we turn out the light
And we lay side by side in
the dark
And we're waiting for sleep or a spark

But the night's 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

(Chorus)
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 pointing our fingers
And the sound of 'I love you' still lingers
But
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

Time is forever
But
love is a fire
And one day is one degree colder
And the clock's tickin'
over your shoulder
And it ticks and it ticks, and it ticks and it
ticks...

And it ticks 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

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
(repeat once, fading out)
