Skeeter Davis – The end of the World (1962)
—
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
‘Cause you don’t love me anymore …
—
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
—
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everythings the same as it was
I can’t understand, no I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does
—
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye …
