美國鄉村樂歌姬［克麗絲托蓋兒］──鄉村流行抒情曲──［The Sound of Goodbye／道別之聲］

We kissed goodnight
And we turn out the lights
We layed side by side in the dark
And were waiting for sleep or a spark

But the nights on the run
And the spark does not come
And we quietly worry and wonder
And the silence is louder than thunder
And it rings with the sound of goodbye

It rings with the sound of goodbye
I cant even tell you just why
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

We can talk of the weather
We can talk of the news
We can talk of the talk of the town
Theres another true love going down

We can talk about promises, talk about lies
But theres no use in pointing our fingers
And the sound of "I love you" still lingers
But it rings with the sound of goodbye

It rings with the sound of goodbye
I cant even tell you just why
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

Time is forever
But love is a fire
And one day is one degree colder
And the clocks tickin over your shoulder
And it ticks and it ticks, and it ticks and it ticks

And it ticks with the sound of goodbye
I cant even tell you just why
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

Sound of goodbye
I cant even tell you just why
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

Sound of goodbye
I cant even tell you just why
It may be the truth or it may be a lie
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
