CHORUS:
Eb
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

..chorus..
