Hold back
The rushing minutes
Make the wind lie still
Don't let
The moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
The Milkman whistles softly
As he walks up to my door
The Mailman
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
Hold back
The rushing minutes
Make the wind lie still
Don't let
The moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
I wake up sometimes
In the night
And realize you're gone
And then I toss
Up on my bed
And wait for day to come
And I try to tell
My lonely heart
It must go on alone
But it cries
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
Hold back the dawn
My world has ended
My baby's gone
My world has ended
My baby's gone
