| 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 ev'rything'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. | |
