The end of the worldSkeeter Davis

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
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

世界末日史琪特戴维丝

太阳为何依然照耀
海浪为何拍打着岩岸
难道它们不知道这是世界末日
因为你不再爱我了

鸟儿为何依然歌唱
星星为何在天上闪耀
难道它们不知道这是世界末日
当我失去了你的爱

当我清晨醒来
纳闷着为何一切如常
我无法了解，我真的无法了解
生命怎会像往常一样运行

我的心为何仍在跳动
我的双眼为何在流泪
难道它们不知道这是世界末日
当你说再见的时候

　「The end of the world」是1963年相当受欢迎的一首歌，曾是乡村女歌手Skeeter Davis唯一的传世之作。从内容看来，这又是一首失恋的情歌，但原作曲者乃是因为父亲逝世，觉得犹如世界末日一般而写出这首歌。Skeeter Davis的演唱平实而动人，而且自己担任和声，成就了一首流行经典。
