There are some folks I used to know Who used to smile and say hello And spin the world and turn the page Entertaining from the stage But father time forever true Loves its own and me and you And disappear just like the sun When the day is done The world is falling down, hold my hand It's a lonely sound, hold my hand We'll follow the breeze and go like the wind And look for a place where the willows bend Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand Hold my hand, hold my hand Summer's gone and winter's here We had a lot of rain this year The news is really very sad The time is late, the fruit is bad The morning's come and roosters crow But people have nowhere to go And disappear just like the sun When the day is done The world is falling down, hold my hand It's a lonely sound, hold my hand We'll follow the sun and live for the day And look for a place where the children play Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand Hold my hand, hold my hand Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand Hold my hand, hold my hand
