The Sound of Your Cry

The clock by the bed is ticking, too loud in the quiet night

I lie in the darkness thinking, I must go before it's light

Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay

I'll leave 'cause I can't stand to see you hurt this waySleep my love as I kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cryThough I knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow

I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how

I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start

But if you wake up crying now, you'll break my heartSleep my love as I kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cryOh, sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cryOh, sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cryOh, sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
