They Listened While You Said Goodbye

They Listened While You Said Goodbye - 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

The sun has stopped shining the moon hides it's 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 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
