Loneliness is the cloak you wear A deep shade of blue is always there The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The tears are always clouding your eyes When you're without love, baby Emptiness is the place you're in There's nothing to lose but no more to win The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The tears are always clouding your eyes When you're without love Lonely, without you, baby Girl, I need you I can't go on The sun ain't gonna shine anymore (The sun ain't gonna shine anymore) The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky (The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky) The tears are always clouding your eyes (The tears are always clouding your eyes) Sun ain't gonna shine anymore When you're without love, baby The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
