The End of the World. Remembered this song from my high school days. Loved it then and love it now! Skeeter Davis was the best! If 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 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? [Chorus] If the end of the world is near Where would you choose to be? If there was five more minutes of air Would you panic and hide? Or run for your life? Or stand here and spend them with me The song The End of the World was written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee and was first recorded and released by Skeeter Davis in 1962. It was covered by Andy Mackay, Danny Davis and The Nashville Strings, Uke-Hunt, Howard Carpendale and other artists. 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?
