The milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door
The mailman brings me letters, 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 almost every night and realize you're gone
I toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart we must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended our baby's gone
Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still
Don't let that moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
Though they know the world has ended my baby's gone
Though they know the world has ended cause my baby's gone
The mailman brings me letters, 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 almost every night and realize you're gone
I toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart we must go on alone
But it cries the world has ended our baby's gone
Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still
Don't let that moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
Though they know the world has ended my baby's gone
Though they know the world has ended cause my baby's gone
