[Instruments: Moving piano triplets, soft acoustic guitar, vintage brushed drums, light bass] [Vocal: Pure clear female pop soprano, nostalgic, emotional clarity, steady rhythmic phrasing] [Verse 1] Tell me why the sun goes on shining? Tell me why the sea rush to shore? Don't they know the world is just ending? Since your eyes don't love anymore. [Verse 2] Tell me why the birds go on singing? Tell me why the stars glow above? Don't they know the world is just ending? It was over losing your love. [Chorus] [Soft vintage strings enter quietly] I wake up when the morning is dawning, And I wonder why the world stays the same. I can't understand, no, I can't understand, How the days can go on with this pain. [Verse 3] [Music drops back to driving piano triplets] Tell me why my heart goes on beating? Tell me why these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know the world is just ending? It was over saying goodbye. [Bridge - Half-step Key Change Modulation to B Major] [Instrumental: Moving nostalgic piano solo playing the 12/8 triplet melody] [Verse 4] [Vocal: Spoken word, talking softly over the moving piano] Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? [Vocal: Singing, full instrumentation returns] Don't they know the world is just ending? It was over saying goodbye. [Outro] [Slowing down slightly at the very end] It was over saying goodbye. [Final piano chord and short brush hit] [End]
