CHORUS:
[Eb]Hold back the rushing minutes
[G#]Make the wind lie still
[Bb]Don't let the moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill[Eb]
[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
As though there's nothing wrong,[E]
Don't they know [F#]the world has ended
My Baby's Gone[B]
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
