Lyrics:Sylvia Dee/Arthur Kent Music:Sylvia Dee/Arthur Kent
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 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 good-bye.

評論：
幾位出色的男鄉村藝人之後,讓我們來聆聽一下Skeeter Davis純真的嗓音,對于這個已有些陌生的名字,或許會有人問:"她是誰?是鄉村藝人嗎......?" 這位曾跨界而今已默默無聞的歌手,雖已于去年離開世間,但在鄉村大家庭裏應永有她的一席之地.遙想出道之初,作為Davis Sisters二重組的成員之一,她本該有大的發展,無奈造化弄人,徒留遺憾!其中故事限于篇幅,就此打住.
這首63年鄉村及流行排行榜雙料亞軍的歌曲,(Cashbox 年終冠軍)據說原是作者為懷念亡父寫就,雖是流行曲風,但由Skeeter Davis演唱,卻賦予其不同的生命,在鍵盤連綿的三連音中,少女訴說著無助的哀愁,全曲流暢而抒情.聲部和音亦來自歌者本人。近半個世紀過去了，當耳畔重又響起她純真而略顯生澀的歌聲，您聽到了什麼？失戀的故事還是對于生命的嘆息？我珍愛此歌,如上所述並不在歌曲的本身,而在于歌者所帶來的氣息,這聽上去多少有些"癡人說夢"!但于我卻是真切的!如同微微風中遠野的芬芳...... <123hank>
英文歌詞：
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 starts 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 is 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 crying?
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 crying?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
中文歌詞：
為何陽光依然燦爛
海浪仍舊衝刷著海岸
難道不覺末日來臨
只因你已不再愛我
為何鳥兒依然歌唱
星星仍舊在夜空閃爍
難道不覺末日來臨
當我失去你的愛
一切就都已結束
清晨醒來，我困惑
為何一切依然如故
我不懂，是的！我真的不懂
生活何以如此繼續
為何我心依然跳動
淚水仍舊盈滿了眼眶
末日來臨就在今朝
當你說出再見
一切都已完結
