The world goes around and the young men get old
The people next door are all down with the cold
The stars are in the heaven that's where they belong
They don't shine in my world since baby is gone
If I were a writer I'd write me a song and all I could say is my baby is gone
[ ac.guitar ]
They had a fire sale downtown yesterday
They say that newport house will be finished right away
The weatherman says sunshine but I know he's wrong
But I don't really care cause baby is gone
If I were a traveler I'd go to Hongkong and try to forget that my baby is gone
[ ac.guitar ]
The sheep're in the meadow the cows're in the corn
And I'm here a wishing I'd never been born
The newspaper said bout the world's goin' wrong
Ain't worried bout the world cause baby is gone
If I were a singer I'd sing me a song but who wants to sing when his baby is gone
The people next door are all down with the cold
The stars are in the heaven that's where they belong
They don't shine in my world since baby is gone
If I were a writer I'd write me a song and all I could say is my baby is gone
