Ain’t No Sunshine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
[Bridge]

Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
[Outro]
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
