Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still   Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill   Dry all the raindrops then 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 a letter 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 then 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 upon my bed and wait for day to come   I tried 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 minutes, make the wind lie still   Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill   Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun   My world has ended, my baby's gone      My world has ended, my baby's gone
