Farewell Is A Lonely Sound Lyrics - Singles - Jimmy Ruffin

Farewell is a lonely sound 

When told to someone you love 

You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why 

You must leave the one that you love 

Saying goodbye to someone you love 

Is so hard for any man 

You say it's just for a while, then you force a smile 

And you hope she'll understand 

Then a tear appears in her eyes 

As she tightly holds your hand 

Then you let her know that it's time to go 

You must leave while you can 

Oh, but, farewell is a lonely sound 

When told to someone you love 

You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why 

You must leave the one that you love 

(Farewell, farewell my love, farewell, farewell my love) 

I'm leaving darling, but I'll be, back one day 

Ooh, every silent step you take 

Each one hurts your heart 

As you board the train, you feel the pain 

That starts as you depart, yeah 

You wipe your eyes so she can't see 

'Cause a man should never cry 

Now there's just a trace of her crying face 

As you wave to her goodbye, that's why 

Farewell is a lonely sound 

When told to someone you love 

You know, you hurt inside as you wonder why 

You must leave the one that you love 

I don't wanna leave you baby, I don't wanna say goodbye no, no 

Ooh, 'cause it hurts inside, and you wonder why 

You must leave the one that you love 

Baby, baby, farewell is a lonely sound 

When told to someone you love 

You know you hurt inside as you wonder why
