Alan Jackson Lyrics
"The Sounds"

(A.Jackson)

I can hear a heartbeat, it seems a little strong
I can hear the things that I did wrong
I can hear a song by looking in her eyes
I can hear all the times she cried.

I can hear the memory as they echo off the wall
Falling from the pictures down the hall
I can hear regret building up inside of me
I can hear all them things I could not see.

Those are the sounds of a woman leavin'
Stronger than a wind in the willow tree
Those are the sounds of a heart breakin'
You can't hear it but the noise is killin' me.

I should have heard it comin' but I chose to pretend
I should have recognized that sound way back then
But I just wouldn't listen and didn't want to all those years
Now the truth is is ringin' clear in my ears.

Those are the sounds of a woman leavin'
Stronger than a wind in the willow tree
Those are the sounds of a heart breakin'
You can't hear it but the noise is killin' me.

--- Instrumental ---

Those are the sounds of a heart breakin'
You can't hear it but the noise is killin' me.
I can hear it and the silence is killin' me...
