Ain't No Sunshine
David Sanborn & Sting Lyrics

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Life feels dull and empty when she's not around.

It's not warm when she's away
The warmth and love that she brings is palpably missing.

And she always gone too long anytime she goes away
Her absence feels longer than it actually is due to the impact she has on him.

Wonder this time where she's gone
He's uncertain where she's gone and why she's gone there.

Wonder if she's gone to stay
He's afraid that she may have left him for good.

And this house just ain't no home
Her absence makes the place feel empty and not worth calling a home.

Anytime she goes away
Whenever she's not around, things are not the same.

And I know, I know, I know, I know
He's aware that her absence has a profound effect on him.

Hey I'll leave the young thing alone
He won't pursue other women even when she's not around.

But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Without her, nothing feels right or bright.

Only darkness everyday
Without her presence, there's no hope or joy in life.

Anytime she goes away
Her absence affects him every single time.
