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 everything’s the same as it was
I can’t understand, no I can’t understand
Why 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
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
Goodbye
Goodbye
(REPEAT TO FADE)
Why, oh why, oh why, do artists think they have to alter the original melody when performing their hit song live or re-recording it? They do it 100% of the time.
Such a sad song. I remember hearing it for the first when I was 10 yr. old. I found out later a country singer Skeeter Davis, had recorded the song first in 1962.
