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 as I kiss you goodbye
Then I won`t hear 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
Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Then I won`t hear the sound of your cry

Sleep my love as I kiss you goodbye
Then I won`t hear the sound of your cry

Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you,
kiss you, kiss you goodbye
Then I won`t hear the sound of your cry

Ohhhh, Sleep my love as I kiss you
