My Baby's Gone

(album: By The Time I Get To Phoenix - 1967)

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 wake up almost every night and realize you're gone
I toss and turn and stare at darkness waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart we'll make it all 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 that moonlight shine across the lonely hill
Dry all the raindrops hold back the sun
Though they know the world has ended my baby's gone
Though they know the world has ended cause my baby's gone
