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 its 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

If we all could go back in time, we would tell her to sing about 2022. :)
Oh, Skeeter…find yourself a nice hobby. Please.
Released 1 year after or during the cuban missile crisis. which is weirdly appropriate for today (Nov 2022)
I think this was originally released in 1962. Classic country, furshur!
I'm not sure I've ever heard this but I do appreciate the lesser known 50s/60s/70s songs rather than the overplayed hits.
Kind of crazy that this song came just 10 years before Kung Fu Fighting, Edgar Winters Group, Santana, and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". What a massive change the 1960s brought to music.

Well done Bill, thanks for helping us to ring in the end of the world in style.
Glad it's all over now.
I actually held my breath when Bill paused for a long moment at the end of this set. The end of RP would have been the end of the world.
Hilarious list of end of the world songs
What fun!
The proper artwork...
I love you Skeeter!

Eschatologic overtones! How fitting!
THIS is why I listen to RP. Eclectic variety!
Thank you Bill!
Thank you Bill!
