They Listened While You Said Goodbye - Lyrics - Jan Howard

Lula Grace Johnson , known professionally as Jan Howard, is an American country music singer and Grand Ole Opry star. She attained popular success as a country female vocalist during the 1960s and early 1970s and was twice nominated for the Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy award. Many of her hits were written by her husband at the time, Harlan 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 its 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...
