Elvis Presley - The Sound Of Your Cry lyrics

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 way

Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry

Though 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 know you'll break my heart

Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry

Ohoho, sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry

Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry

Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you
