My world has ended, my baby's gone
Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still
The mailman brings a letter just like he did before
Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun
Don't they know the world has ended, my baby's gone
But it cries the world has ended, my baby's gone
My world has ended, my baby's gone
Hold back the rushing minutes, make the wind lie still
Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
I wake up sometimes in the night and realize you're gone
Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill
I tried to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone
Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun
The milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door
And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come
My world has ended, my baby's gone
They seem so busy all day long as though there's nothing wrong
