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,Yes
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 mornin' 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
(spoken)
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
(sung)
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Goodbye
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,Yes
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 mornin' 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
(spoken)
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
(sung)
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Goodbye
