Baby Is Gone

(Jack Clement)



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 Hong Kong

And try to forget

That my baby is gone.



--- Instrumental ---



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?...
