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 And 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 And I won't hear the sound of your cry
Oh sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye And I won't hear the sound of your cry
Oh sleep my love as I kiss you kiss you kiss you goodbye And I won't hear the sound of your cry
Oh sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye And I won't hear the sound of your cry
