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 farsail 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
