End Of The World (Skeeter Davis / Karen Carpenter) - STING 21105 (Wil Stans)

(Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

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 - ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
Why do the birds go on singing? – SWING your girl and PROMENADE her home
Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It ended when I lost your love…

(Figure): HEADS you PROMENADE go just HALFWAY - Down the middle Square Thru go Four

Go all the way around a Right and Left Thru - Veer Left and Ferris Wheel once more

Square Thru Three hands around the ring now - SWING the girl around and PROMENADE

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It ended when you said goodbye…

(Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

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…

(Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

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…
ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
Why do the birds go on singing? – SWING your girl and PROMENADE her home
Don't they know it's the end of the world

It ended when you said goodbye…

(Tag): It ended when you said goodbye…

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

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 goodbye…
