My Baby's Gone

[Chorus]

Hold back the rushing minutes

Make the wind lie still

Don't let the moonlight shine

Across the lonely hill

Dry all the raindrops

And hold back the sun

My world has ended

My baby's gone

[Verse 1]

The Milk man whistles softly

As he comes up to my door

The Mail man brings the letters by

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

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

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
