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

Chorus

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
