D Hold back the rushing minutes G Make the wind lie still A Don't let the moonlight shine G D Across the lonely hill D Dry all the raindrops G And hold back the sun A My world has ended D My baby's gone A Milkman whistles softly G D As he comes up to my door A The mailman brings the letters by G D Just like he did before D They seem so busy all day long G As though there's nothing wrong, A Don't they know the world has ended D 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 try to tell my lonely heart It must go on alone But it cries the world has ended My baby's gone Chorus A Don't they know the world has ended D A D My baby's gone
