"My Baby's Gone" lyrics
(originally by The Louvin Brothers)
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
My world has ended
My baby's gone
The milkman whistles softly
As he comes up to my door
The mailman brings the letters by
Just like he did before
They seem so busy all day long
As though there's nothing wrong
Don't they know the world has ended?
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
And hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
I sometimes wake up in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I lie upon my bed
And wait for day to come
I try to tell my aching heart
It must go on alone
But it cries, the world has ended
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
And hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
My world has ended
My baby's gone
Make the wind lie still
Don't let the moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
The milkman whistles softly
As he comes up to my door
The mailman brings the letters by
Just like he did before
They seem so busy all day long
As though there's nothing wrong
Don't they know the world has ended?
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
And hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
I sometimes wake up in the night
And realize you're gone
And then I lie upon my bed
And wait for day to come
I try to tell my aching heart
It must go on alone
But it cries, the world has ended
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
And hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby's gone
My world has ended
My baby's gone
