Carpenters, The - The End Of The World 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 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 everything 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?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

Carpenters, The The End Of The World Comments
  1. q.... ....

    WTF at 0:15 ?

  2. S.... K....

    This is a beautiful rendition of the Skeeter Davis Classic - Although Karen was a far better singer than Skeeter Davis I still prefer the original -As far as the best female singer ever Eva Cassidy would be my choice but obviously Karen Carpenter is worthy of that claim also

  3. J.... P....

    A Karen Carpenter deixou uma herança para o mundo : a voz !

  4. A.... f....

    Linda demais é de doer no peito

  5. v.... p....

    Nao canso de ouvir Karen Carpenters

  6. m.... P....

    I've found this song right now and I'm impacted! What a perfection! God bless you, Karen Carpenter!

  7. R.... ....

    Karen Carpenter had a truly beautiful voice! ♥ ♥ ♥

  8. P.... S....

    Karen Carpenter foi surpreendente; ela estava "certa" com cada nota e mudança de chave. Seus vocais capturaram todas as nuances e qualidades tonais que hoje trazem lágrimas aos olhos desse velho. "Descanse em paz, Karen. Eu nunca pensei que você fosse um peso pesado em qualquer lugar, exceto quando cantou, e esse foi certamente o seu desempenho pesado. Você transcendeu os problemas do mundo para nós na época e foi salva da selvageria do século XXI". (Charles Scott, Sr)

  9. C.... S....

    Karen Carpenter was astonishing; she was "right on" with every note, & key change. Her vocals captured every nuance and tonal quality which today brings tears to this oldster's eyes. "Rest in peace Karen." I never thought you were a heavyweight anywhere except when you sang, and that was certainly your heavyweight performance, You transcended the woes of the world for us then and were saved from the savagery of the 21st century.

  10. m.... r....

    Hard to believe in 3 days will be the 37 year since she left us. There still no voice that could match Karen's. Never forgotten....

  16. H.... G....

    I’ve never before heard Karen sing this song...absolutely beautiful! ❤️

  17. C.... H....

    This song says it all. Her death was the end of the world. She will always be the love of my heart.

  18. h.... ....

  19. A.... ....

    lets play this song during ww3

  20. d.... o....

    I think God wanted Karen back. He missed her voice, and wanted her to train the angels how to sing right. He really laid out all the tools when he made her.

  21. K.... S....

    Only angels sing like her.

  22. r.... ....

    trump 666, the antichrist,

    My memory of young times Song.

    m.... h....

    I just can't believe that a voice can make one feel so much pleasure. I can't understand the effect this beautiful voice has on me.

  25. A.... H....

    I will forever be in love with Karen's voice. It was such a loss to the world when she left us.

  26. S.... ....

    Karen took this very sad and gloomy song and added warmth and heart to it.

  27. �.... ....

    カーペンターズ最高すぎる

  28. S.... 2....

    Loneliness is such a sad affair

  29. M.... K....

    adorable voice

  31. L.... D....

  36. E.... V....

    strange introduction

  37. c.... ....

    Great song! Great version! But I still prefer the original by Skeeter Davis

    c.... ....

    @chenks Your opinion, but Davis couldn't carry Karen's music sheet!

  38. N.... M....

    So sad that this wonderful voice is silent now.

  39. s.... h....

    Oh her voice................

  40. s.... c....

    best singer ever !!

  41. I.... S....

    She had sang this song Skeeter Davis had sang it until she'd found her voice was better off low.

    I.... S....

    @Irenee Huh?????

    I.... S....

    You never heard of country singer Skeeter Davis?!

  42. C.... M....

    unico defeito da música é que ela acaba

  43. w.... A....

    Linda!!!!! Underfulll

  44. K.... F....

    Perfect

  45. r.... h....

    ive sung her songs ...not like her obviously

  46. E.... M....

    Umas das melhores vozes do mundo

  47. A.... L....

    All i can say is may God love and remember both Karen and Skeeter.

  48. F.... O....

    Such a soothing voice

  49. B.... D....

    Love Karen but I prefer skeeters version, this is really good as well, though

  50. c.... h....

    I remember karen in a Christmas show on tv I. I think i was 12 years old . Her beautiful smile stopped me in my tracks . I fell in love with her instantly. Her dark hair brown eyes gorgeous smile . I was hooked . I hope some day I get to see her on the other side

  51. J.... m....

    Por favor que hermosa canción. Te amare toda la vida Karen....

  52. M.... S....

    here at the age of 19 ❤️

  53. J.... D....

    ♥️♥️♥️

  54. b.... h....

    Before Karen it sang this was a nice melancholic love song. She made it an existential master piece.

  55. D.... W....

    I guess Richard didn't like the spoken part, that Skeeter did.

  56. s.... ....

    She is missed because she gave us some great music and memories.

  57. A.... R....

    Only women can save the world, and they were, are, have been and can and will; stupid men won't let them.

  58. �.... �....

    (Ukrainian version):
    Чом сонце знов в небі світить
    Й море знов хвилі жене?
    Хто ж не знав - кінець світу настав,
    Бо ти не любиш вже мене.

    Чом же пташки ще співають?
    Чом же зірки сяють знов?
    Хто ж не знав - кінець світу настав,
    Як втратила твою любов.

    Прокинуся я вранці і дивуюсь,
    Чом в кожній речі нема жодних змін.
    Ніяк не вловлю, ні, ніяк не вловлю,
    Чому - той світ, - таким є він?

    Чом моє серце все б'ється?
    Чом повно сліз, через край?
    Хто ж не знав - кінець світу настав,
    Як ти сказав мені:"Прощай"

    Хто ж не знав - кінець світу настав,
    Як ти сказав мені:"Прощай".

  59. T.... y....

    Classic music always be in heart.

  60. D.... P....

    O.. Wonderful voice of Karen

  61. L.... o....

    Can you please hear my cover of this?it would mean a world to me❤

  62. j.... p....

    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 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 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

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

    It ended when you said goodbye

    "Ah, what memories, what memories

    From Nineteenhundred and Sixty-Three

    Well, later that same year

    This golden goodie blast from the past

    Was introduced by The Chrystals"

  64. A.... S....

    2:22 : Damn you're good.

    A.... S....

    By God she was.

  65. b.... h....

    The last four notes she sang are the most perfect musical deciption of an absolut hopeless depressive condition I ever heard. Like falling in a black hole forever. Note the change in her timbre at this moment. It´s literally shocking. This is pop-avantgarde of the highest order, and Karen Carpenter was a genius.

    b.... h....

    @bubbel One of the most difficult things for a female singer to do is go from their higher register to their low instantly, Karen could do it easily, she called it her basement.

  66. i.... m....

    why my heart always gonna beating when hear this song?

  67. S.... S....

    Спасибо Харуки Мураками 😊 на счёт чего, кто знает, тот поймёт 😏

  68. l.... r....

    Just amazing voice,magic.

  69. V.... ....

    My dear Karen, you are so dearly missed, thank you for all your beautiful songs.

  70. f.... ....

    Wow, really?

  71. 7.... ....

    I remember this song was playing when I broke up with my girlfriend, CRUSHING

  72. D.... D....

    very nice...

  73. F.... P....

    this song is my favorite

  74. S.... H....

    One of my favorite classic pop songs sung by one of my favorite female vocalists of all time. The real stuff.

  75. L.... A....

    What a voice! What a talent! The most beautiful voice and woman that piss the earth. I will never forgive you darling, the heaven must be sound so precious

  76. D.... S....

    Not a song I ever really liked but Karen makes me want to listen.

  77. A.... T....

    Absolutely stunning. When Karen sang "goodbye" at the end it seemed like she was saying farewell to all. She is the best singer I have ever heard with beauty, femininity, and everything else!

  78. W.... H....

    When Karen died the world lost one of it's greatest treasures.

    W.... H....

    I'm crying

    W.... H....

    agree..

    W.... H....

    A Queen!

  79. r.... p....

    I like this version than the original by Skeeter Davis. LOBO's version is better though.

  80. �.... ....

    It's an old song, but it's a beautiful song.

  81. w.... g....

    Skeeter davis version : Bb Major
    Karen Carpenter version : A major

    w.... g....

    Thank you!

  82. D.... ....

    I just recently started to listen again, after 40+ yrs of rock and metal, and I'm haunted again by the voice as I was as a child.

    D.... ....

    Dave Berlanga hey Dave .. i can totally relate to that .. my earliest recollection of music is my mom’s radio playing in the background.. i was probably 4 or 5 years old.. this would’ve been in 65’/66’ .. and it was songs like these that i remember although at the time it would’ve been Skeeter Davis’s version playing on a country music station.. when i turned 12 or 13 i remember my older brother bringing home a few records and among them was the Guess Who , Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple’s Machine Head ! needless to say i’ve been a rocker ever since .. now i’m about to turn 59 and i find myself listening to more and more 60’s / 70’s music ..a lot of it takes me back my childhood ! precious memories 👍🏻☮️

    D.... ....

    Dave Berlanga I agree! I just listen to that voice and it brings me tears. 😪

  83. S.... C....

    Q porra de música deprê... de difícil já basta a vida.. Que tal ir para o lado claro da força??

  84. R.... S....

    Gundala teaser brought me here :)

  85. M.... O....

    excellent

  86. D.... ....

    I like her version the best so clear and distinct

    D.... ....

    Probably done on first take. She was incomparable!

  87. H.... W....

    Love the Carpenters since I was a kid. I'm 51 now. Miss Karen's voice !!

  88. w.... ....

    up感謝です。thank you for uploading/はじめのイントロは、原曲のキーですかね。途中で、音程が変わったような。

  89. M.... R....

    Sinceramente me duele que no se hizo realmente el verdadero esfuerzo para tratarla a como se debía por su familia. No se dieron cuenta, hasta que la perdieron. Una lástima totalmente.

  90. S.... E....

    Maravilloso,que lastima que ya no este con nosotros

  91. G.... B....

    The most relaxing song

    G.... B....

    wow you still watch this

  92. c.... ....

    doesn't matter what this woman sings! Remember hearing songs with my parents in the 70's never appreciated it.. But now hearing this song i rarely heard with them.. she could sing any song in the world.. would be amazing! She was one of a kind

    c.... ....

    Same here. My father said she had the most beautiful voice in the world but with the Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Dave Brubeck Quartet etc I did not see it at the time. Now at 73 I have finally realized the truth. I listen to this daily along with Skeeter's version.

  93. J.... C....

    Que hermoza vos 💟

  94. A.... D....

    I can sing this whole song perfectly but then the last lower bit.... I die😂♥️

  95. r.... h....

    I love Karen's music....the voice of an angel

  96. E.... M....

    Vamos viajar no tempo através da música fantástica

  97. I.... S....

    Meine Zeit. ............ Läuft ab.

  98. J.... R....

    Some Talent lost to early

  99. J.... S....

    LOVELY AND SAD......
