Verse

D                                               G
Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still
A7                                              D
Don’t let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
D7                                      G
Dry all the raindrops and hold back the sun
A7                           D
My world has ended my baby’s gone

Verse

    A7                            G              D
The milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door
    A7                                 G           D
The mailman brings the letters by just like he did before
D                                 D7                     G
They seem so busy all day long as though there’s nothing wrong
           A7                                  D
Don’t they know the world has ended? My baby’s gone

Verse

  A7                                 G              D
I wake up sometimes in the night and realize you’re gone
    A7                          G               D
And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come
D                                D7         G
I try to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone
       A7                                   D
But it cries the world has ended, my baby’s gone
