Hold back the rushing minutes G# Make the wind lie still Bb Don't let the moonlight shine Eb Across the lonely hill Eb Dry all the raindrops G# And hold back the sun Bb My world has ended Eb My baby's gone F# The Milkman whistles softly B As he comes up to my door F# The Mailman brings the letters by B Just like he did before B They seem so busy all day long E As though there's nothing wrong, F# Don't they know the world has ended B My Baby's Gone Ch. 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
