They Listened While You Said Goodbye Lyrics - Jan Howard

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...
