Hold back the rushing minutes make the wind lie still Don't let the moonlight shine across the lonely hill Dry all the raindrops then hold back the sun the world has ended my baby's gone I'll wake up almost every night and realize you're gone I'll toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn I try to tell my lonely heart we'll make it alone But it cries the world has ended oh 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 Don't they know the world has ended my baby's gone Don't they know the world has ended oh my baby's gone
