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 any more 



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

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



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
