Lyrics Alan Jackson – The Sounds

I can hear a heartbeat
It seems a little strong
I can hear the things
That I did wrong

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

I can hear it
And the silence is killin’ me…
