The End Of The World

Skeeter Davis The End Of The World Lyrics
1.The End Of The World

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.

























2.A dear John letter

*Dear John

oh! how I hate to write

Dear John

I must let you know tonight

That my love for you has gone

There's no reason to go on

And tonight I wed another

Dear John*


I was overseas in battle

When the postman came to me

He handed me a letter

And I was as happy as I could be

Cause the fighting was all over

And the battles they'd all be won

But then I opened up that letter

And it stated Dear John(*)


I was overseas in battle

When the postman came to me

He handed me a letter

Won't you please send back my picture

My husband wants it now
