They Listened While You Said Goodbye Lyrics

(Harlan Howard)

The birds stop their singing when I'm passing by
And even the flowers just stand there and cry
But they know the reason I have tears in my eyes
They listened while you said goodbye.

You say what you're seeking is over the hill
And that I'll find a new love but I never will
For you didn't know my whole world stood still
And listened while you said goodbye.

The sun has stopped shining the moon hides its face
He promised so much now he hides in disgrace
I guess all creation was there that night
And listened while you said goodbye.

You say what you're seeking is over the hill
And that I'll find a new love but I never will
For you didn't know my whole world stood still
And listened while you said goodbye...
