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 aa-as as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't he-e-ear 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. [Chorus 1] (x3) Sleep my love aa-as as I kiss you goodbye Then I won't he-e-ear the sound of your cry.
