Crystal Gayle - 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus: x2]
