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

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

chorus
A
don’t they know the world has ended
D A D
my baby’s gone
