Lyrics


The Sound Of Goodbye

It?s my morning treat
Guess I?ll pour myself a strong one
Couldn?t sleep
Lord knows I tried and then some
Couldn?t hear you breathing
Didn?t hear our baby cry
It?s dead silence
And that?s the sound of goodbye

Last night
I was wishing I could hold you
And make it right
?Cause there were things I never told you
I pray that you?ll forgive me
At least I hope you?ll try
But it?s dead silence
And that?s the sound of goodbye

I never knew that losing you
Could be so hard to take
And this ain?t lonely girl, it?s hell
And I hope to find my way

Some way
I know it?s gonna come true
Someday
I?ll be back with the two of you
I know your?re safe in Heaven?s arms
And I pray everyday to God
Take away this dead silence
?Cause it?s the sound of goodbye

God take away this dead silence
?Cause it?s the sound of goodbye
The sound of goodbye
