They Listened While You Said Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The birds stop their singing when I'm passing by
And even the flowers just stand there and cry
But they know the reason I have tears in my eyes they listened while you said goodbye
You say what you're seeking is over the hill
And that I'll find a new love but I never will
For you didn't know my whole world stood still and listened while you said goodbye
[ piano ]
The sun has stopped shining the moon hides its face
He promised so much now he hides in disgrace
I guess all creation was there that night and listened while you said goodbye
You say what you're seeking...
