It feels like a lifetime, A thousand days have passed by Since I held you close to me If I could see that smile from my friend I know that I could live again I need you here with me Heaven knows what to say Even though right now you're so far away I hope and I pray Somewhere in your heart I'll always stay Boy, lately my sun doesn't shine without you Never noticed what it feels like to be without you Feels like I took my last step And my last breath and my life ended Had to say just what I was feeling, girl 'Cause my sun doesn't shine, Sun doesn't shine without you This is more for me than for you Boy, I finally see there's no substitute For what we have Do you know how much I love you? And what we've shared I can't forget Boy, a love like yours I'll never let just slip away Just promise me that you'll stay Heaven knows what to say Even though for right now you're so far away Gonna tell you and show you Do whatever I can do to get back to you Boy, lately my sun doesn't shine without you Never noticed what it feels like to be without you Feels like I took my last step And my last breath in my life ending Had to say just what I was feeling, girl 'Cause my sun doesn't shine, Sun doesn't shine... Have you ever seen a flower that never blooms See a starless night without the moon Well that's me without you So come back and turn my night into day... ...cause lately, my sun doesn't shine without you...
