    I lost my wife in 2010 to cancer and I still play this song. I'll never get over losing her. I lost the one true love in my life and I'm very grateful for having such a beautiful woman, inside and out, in my life.

      I'm so very sorry to hear that. I almost lost my wife two years ago. It's been a long road but without saying anything else I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. She's still with me and I just can't imagine the pain of losing her. God bless you my brother and I will remember you in my prayers.

    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 any more
    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, "Good-bye"
    Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
    (Why do these eyes of mine cry?)
    Mmm, mmm, mmm

      I believe that it was to not be redundant, since “shining” was used in reference to the sun in the very first line of the song.

    Skeeter was a great lady. Singapore 1985 I got to meet her and we became friends . She came out to my ship for lunch had a great time. When I got back to the states we would call in the middle of the night and chat after her show. I was lucky to be in town amd she took me back stage to meet other singers. I miss her very much from the chats to her friendship.

    I first heard this song in 1971 on a monoaureal transistor radio. I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of the house of the girl I liked, she had just come from the United States to settle in my neighborhood. We were both teenagers. She spoke English, I didn't. The device received a signal from a station in the United States - I'm from Monterrey. This song captivated me. I didn't understand the lyrics very well but I loved the sensitivity with which Skeeter Davis sings and since then it has been one of my favorites. Now I speak English. I understand the lyrics, it's quite a romantic song. Whenever I listen to it I go back to that moment.
