They Listened While You Said Goodbye Lyrics

(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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
