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 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
