Lyrics

The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

Loneliness is the cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love, baby

Emptiness is the place you're in
With nothing to lose but no more to win

Oh the sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love, lonely
Without you, baby
Girl, I need you
I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love, baby
Ohhh yeah

Ohhh the sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love, baby
When you're without love, baby
When you're without love

(The sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
(The sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
Oh the sun ain't gonna shine anymore
(The sun ain't gonna shine anymore)
Oh the sun ain't gonna shine anymore
(The sun ain't gonna shine …)
