They Listened While You Said Goodbye

(Harlan Howard)



The birds hush their singing when I'm passing by

And even the flowers just stand there and cry

For they know the reason I have tears in my eyes

They listened while you said goodbye.



The star's has stopped shining the moon hides its face

Cause you said another is taking my place

I guess our creation was better night

And listened while you said goodbye.



You said it's all over and you wished me well

You said find a new love but I never will

For you didn't know my whole world stood still

And listened while you said goodbye.

You said find a new love but I never will

For you didn't know my whole world stood still

And listened while you said goodbye...
