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
