The Sound of Your Cry
Whispers of Farewell: Elvis's Melancholic Serenade
Lyrics
The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night
The noise made by the clock on the bedside is very noticeable in the silent night.
I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before it's light
I'm lying in the darkness, contemplating leaving before daylight arrives.
Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay
Before you awaken and plead for me to stay,
I'll leave ‘cause I can't stand to see you hurt this way
I'll depart because I can't bear witnessing the pain you're experiencing.
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Rest peacefully, my love, while I bid you farewell with a kiss.
Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
So I won't have to hear the sorrowful sound of your crying.
Though I knew the time is coming and our love would end somehow
Despite knowing that our relationship's end was inevitable,
I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how
I couldn't bring myself to inform you precisely when or how it would happen.
I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start
I'm aware that continuing our relationship is impossible; it was a mistake to begin with.
But if you woke up crying now, you know you'll break my heart
However, if you were to wake up crying now, it would deeply sadden me.
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Rest peacefully, my love, as I say goodbye with a kiss.
Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
So I won't have to hear the painful sound of your crying.
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Rest peacefully, my love, as I bid you farewell with a kiss.
Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
So I won't have to hear the sorrowful sound of your crying.
Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye
Oh, sleep peacefully, my love, as I kiss you repeatedly in farewell,
Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
So I won't have to hear the sorrowful sound of your crying.
Ohhhh, sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Oh, sleep peacefully, my love, as I bid you goodbye with a kiss.
