AIN’T NO SUNSHINE BY BILL WITHERS

LYRICS

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
It’s not warm when she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she’s gone
Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

10 thoughts on “AIN’T NO SUNSHINE BY BILL WITHERS”

  1. In this present time
    I am yours
    & you are mine
    We are us
    We are one
    What is now joined
    Cant be undone
    I am the mead,
    Your favourite consumption
    Now and forever
    Your eternal resumption
    I will be your all
    Your lifes blood
    Your tourniquet
    To stop your emotional flood.

  2. With every second of every hour of every day
    I make a wish that you’ll
    Come back to stay
    Bring back the warmth
    Let the sun shine on my face
    Kiss me like you missed me
    Let our hearts keep pace
    For this entire time you’ve been gone
    My heart & my soul
    Says it’s been far too long

  3. An icy cold chill
    Seeps through my clothes
    Deadening my senses
    Every time he goes.
    Without a backward look
    Going into the night
    & taking with him
    Every warning hope of sunlight
    For I will forever stay
    In the shade of the day
    Until finally he wanders
    Back my way

  4. Ain’t no sunshine’s when America’s down
    And we sigh our collective sigh
    And frown our collective frown.
    The whole world is in this together.
    As the whole world cries that collective sigh.
    Ain’t no sunshine when America is down.

  5. We parted ways
    in blinding rage
    ain’t no sunshine
    sounds unkind in
    weakness of mind
    like a faraway nomad
    crazy illusions plays
    on my mind
    your goofy smile n brown eyes
    forlorn gone too long
    brims in sunflower dreams
    heart beat misses u
    in Earnest longing of follies.
