[Intro]   /  /  /    /  /  / [Verse 1]   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. [Chorus 1] Sleep my love aa-as as I kiss you goodbye Then I won’t he-e-ear the sound of your cry. [Verse 2]   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.
