Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby yea
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Hello sunshine
It's mighty good to see you doing fine
And although, it's been a long, long time
I still find that you're heavy on my mind
And Oh, I see you still looking good baby
Just, like I knew you would
But there's only one thing wrong
I don't see you any night when I get home
My sunshine has faded away
My sunshine has faded away baby
My skies are cloudy and grey
And my skies are cloudy and grey baby
(And i can't stop these tears)
I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes
From my eyes yea yea from my eyes
Yea yea yea yea
Missing you
Hello love child
I see you still got your pretty smile
Tell me is it true what they say baby
That you're married and have a baby on the way
And oh here I stand Just a half of a man
Just holding on the best I can
And I know this might be the wrong thing to say
But without your love
I can't face another day
Sunshine has faded away
Sunshine has faded away baby
My skies are cloudy and grey
Ooh skies are cloudy and grey baby
And I can't stop these tears
I can't stop these tears from falling
From my eyes from my eyes
From my eyes yea yea from my eyes
Yeaah yea yea yea
I'm missing you baby
Hey baby hey hey
Sunshine has faded away
Faded away baby
And my skies are cloudy and grey
Oh skies are cloudy and grey baby
And I can't stop these tears from my eyes
I can't stop these tears from falling
From my eyes yea yea
Been so long since you been away baby
I still miss her more and more each and every day
The song "Sunshine" by Enchantment is a lament for a lost love and the hopelessness the singer feels. The song begins with the singer acknowledging the reappearance of the sun and saying it's good to see it's doing fine but confesses that the person on his mind is absent. He points out that the love interest still looks good, but the one thing wrong is that they aren't there when he gets home at night. The singer then launches into a reminiscence of the times they spent together when the sunshine was still in his life. The chorus then repeats, with the singer admitting that he can't stop the tears from falling.
The second verse opens with the singer addressing their love interest directly, telling them they still have their pretty smile, and querying whether rumors about the love interest being married and expecting a baby are true. The singer then acknowledges that he's only half a man now before admitting that he knows it's wrong to say, but he can't face another day without their love. The chorus then repeats with the singer still lamenting the absence of their lost love.
Overall, the song expresses a deep sense of longing and regret over a lost love, a feeling that the singer can't shake. The use of the metaphorical sunshine for a lost love makes the song relatable, as most people have someone they miss or long for.

This is the music that the grown folks listened to (while drinking E&J and playin' spades) , while me and all my cousins played in the back room... We did put on some talent shows later on tho.. Some of my best memories. And being a father of 4, all my kids have heard this genre of music and love it.. We sing these songs together! Lls

Enchantment is a great group that did not the props they deserved. The lead singer with that fabulous falsetto, the background singers all just came together so good. Wish they still recording. Love this group
