Why does the sun go 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, goodbye
