I lost my beautiful daughter, this song is how I've felt for 12 years ❤ I love you Beanie.

[diassalam]

my dad couldn't hold back his tears when he heard this song, because his lovely mother and sister who often sing this song are gone forever.

[royajulaei]

I can watch this a billion times and cry each time. so emotional and moving voice and music.

[themistermax]

Perfect. No overblown theatrics, just clean, sweet singing. Skeeter approves of this message.

[jihadayoub]

The sorrow on her face is so beautiful

[c.fariddio]

I cry, i always remember my grandpa singing this song.. RIP

[cairoinc]

I've loved the song ever since I first heard it as a kid, when Skeeter Davis sang it in the 1960s.

[CiseilEverburning]

I'm so happy that many people come from things that lead you to this song

[KorbenDallas]

I tried to pet a dog at work today and it ran away so I'll have this song on repeat for the remainder of the year.

[johnfrost]

Stunning.. I love the part near end (2:31) when she speaks and says "why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry?" The emotions come across perfectly as her voice cracks a little at the word "cry"..

[dereksteele]

If ever there was a demonstration of how great some of those old songs from the golden age of pop and rock were, this was it . One of the most achingly beautiful tear jerking songs ever written.

[apextroll]

She has a perfect presence for this song.

[ernestodelapena]

It takes me back during my younger days! Undying song, I love it . Well performed girl!

[swimlaps]

Well done! Still is sad! ! It was on the radio when I was 4, .by Skeeter Davis. I only thought 1 day my parents would be gone!

[craigboot]

Oh my! This is a classic track and I have never heard it sung so well it's like listening to an Angel sing

[donnadonna]

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
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

[gemgazza]

never seen or heard of this girl, so glad i came across this on youtube, absolutely brilliant ! 👏👏👏

[AllenJones-wp]

A touching rendition of a classic ballad dealing with lost love. Sharon's tender vocal is backed by superb orchestral backing(most likely the BBC Symphony).

[jennifersimons]

Just stunning. SOngs such as this really do keep my heart beating! THank you.

[Mr.Justanotherdude]

The best cover so far- the mood in the song is so perfectly portrait by her as if she had really experience the loss or depressed and her voice all together stand out the best.
