(My 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

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 she's gone
And lay my clothes upon my bed and wait for days 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

My baby's gone...
