George Jones - My Baby's Gone lyrics

(Hazel Houser) Chorus: 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 The milkman whistles softly as he comes up to my door The mailman brings the letters 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 Chorus: 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 --- Instrumental --- I wake up sometime in the night and realize you're gone And then I toss upon my bed and wait for day to come I try to tell my lonely heart it must go on alone But it cries the world has ended, my baby's gone Chorus: 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...
