The Sun Don’t Shine Songtext
von Betty Wright

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Since you′ve been gone
The sun no longer shines
My friend say it does all the time
Well, then I must be blind

And I guess I can't feel the rays
There′ve been too many lonely, lonely days
And that old devil
He stays on my case
Since you've been gone


I tell you the sun (The sun)
Don't shine (Don′t shine)
It′s rainin' all the time
Come and fill this lonely, lonely life of mine, Oh-oh, baby
(The sun) The sun
(Don′t shine) sho' don′t shine
It keeps stormin', stormin′ all the time
Come and fill this lonely, lonely life of mine
Oh, baby

Since you've been gone
My life has come to an end
I've lost my only true friend
Now I′m empty within
And I tell you the hurt, oh it goes so deep
Can′t even remember the days of the week
Find myself just loosing sleep
Since you've been gone

I tell you the sun (The sun)
Don′t shine (Don't shine)
It′s rainin', rainin′ all the time
Come and fill this lonely, lonely life of mine


Oh, oh, oh
Why are we putting each other through so much pain?
Why did you leave me out in the rain?
Well, baby do you think
We could start over again
I hope we can
I believe we can
I know we can
I know we can!

The sun, (The sun)
Don't shine, (Don't shine)
It′s rainin′ all the time
Won't you come and fill
This lonely, lonely life of mine
Oh, oh
I tell you the sun
The sun
Sho′ don't shine
It keeps stormin′, stormin' all the time
Come and fill this lonely
This lonely life of mine

You don′t miss your water till your well runs dry
Oh, come on and fill
This life of mine
And I didn't miss you baby till you said goodbye
Oh, come fill this lonely life of mine
I'm so lonely
I-I-I-I, I miss you baby
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, baby
Oh, I′ll be better this time
Come fill this life of mine
No other love will do that like you, baby
I need you to feel this life of mine
Mine

Come fill, come fill this lonely
Life of mine, oh-oh
Oh, baby
Oh, I miss you baby
I said I miss you baby
Oh, I need to have you near
Am I making myself clear?
Come and fill
Fill, fill
