Jan Howard - They Listened While You Said Goodbye Lyrics

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

[ piano ]

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...
