The Sound of Your Cry - Alternate Take 3

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
A 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 long to start
But if you wake up cryin' now
You'll break my heart

Sleep, my love
As I kiss you, goodbye
And I won't hear
A sound of your cry

Oh, sleep, my love
As I kiss you, kiss you, goodbye
And I won't hear
A sound of your cry

Oh, sleep, my love
As I kiss you, kiss you, kiss you, goodbye
And I won't hear
A sound of your cry

Oh, sleep, my love
As I kiss you, goodbye
Then I won't hear
A sound of your cry
