[Verse 1]
Into my life you brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine from up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words "goodbye"
That's the day you left me for a stranger
Don't you know that when you left my life took on a change-a?
Oh, I'm a-telling you it ain't no sun since you've been gone, woo!

[Verse 2]
There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness and I feel like I'm dead
Ain't no flowers blooming 'round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me, baby, oh, yeah
You took the life from my world, crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby, baby
And it ain't no sun since you've been gone

[Bridge]
Oh, my future, my future
Was as bright as the sun, yes, it was (Oh, yeah)
I ain't got no future now that you've gone (Oh, yeah)

[Verse 3]
Oh, I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, oh, yes
You took the life from my world, crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe
Baby, it seems like night in the middle of the day
Everything around me is faded and grey
Cold are the days, dark creeps the night
Never bringing you back into my life
And there ain't no sun since you've been gone
[Outro]
You took my sunshine away
(Ain't no sun since you've been gone, there's a cloud growing up above me)
You took my sunshine away from me, baby, ooh, yeah
(Ain't no sun since you've been gone, there's a cloud growing up above me)
You know, you took my sunshine away from me, baby
(Ain't no sun since you've been gone, there's a cloud growing up above me)
