The Sound Of Your Cry Lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Giant - Baum - Kaye) 

The clock by the bed is ticking too loud in the quiet night 

I lie in the darkness thinking I must go before it's light 

Before you open up your eyes and you beg me to stay 

I'll leave 'cause I can't stand to see you hurt this way 

Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye 

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry 

Though I knew the time was coming and our love would end somehow 

I just couldn't bear to tell you exactly just when or how 

I know we can't go on, that it was wrong to start 

But if you wake up crying now, you know you'll break my heart 

Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye 

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry 

Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye 

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry 

Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you goodbye 

Then I won't hear the sound of your cry
