Baby Is Gone Songtext
von Jack Clement

The world goes around and the young men get old
The people next door are all down with a cold
The stars are in the heavens, that′s where they belong
But they don't shine in my world since baby is gone

If I were a writer I′d write me a song
But all I could say is my baby is gone


They had a firesale downtown yesterday
They say the Newport house will be finished right away
The weatherman said sunshine, but I know he's wrong
But I don't really care ′cause baby is gone

If I were a traveller I′d go to Hong Kong
And try to forget that my baby is gone

The sheep are in the meadow the cows are in the corn
And I'm here a-wishin′ I'd never been born
The newspaper said that 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
