[Chorus]
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 hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended ... my baby's gone
[Verse]
A7 G D
The milkman whistles sofltly as he comes up to my door
A7 G D
And the mailman bring the letters by just like he did before
D D7 G
They seem so busy all day long as if though's nothing wrong
A7 D
Don't they the know the world has ended... my baby's gone.
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
D7 G
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
A7 D
My 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 tried to tell my lonely heart...It must go on a-lone
A7 D
But it cries the world has ended... my baby's gone
[Chorus]
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 hold back the sun
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
A7 D
My world has ended my baby's gone
