[CHORUS:]
Hold back the rushing minutes
Make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops

And hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone


The Milkman whistles softly
As he comes up to my door

The Mailman brings the letters by
Just like he did before
They seem so busy all day long

As though there's nothing wrong,
Don't they know the world has ended
My Baby's Gone


[chorus]


I wake up sometimes in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss upon my bed

And wait for day to come
I try to tell my lonely heart
It must go on alone

But it cries the world has ended
My Baby's Gone
