Hold back the rushingness
Make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
The milkman whistles softly as he walks 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
Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
I wake up sometimes in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss up all my bed and wait for day to come
And I try to tell my lonely heart
It must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended
My baby's gone
Hold back the rushing mess make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops and hold back the dawn
My world has ended
My baby's gone
My world has ended
My baby is gone
