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 for right now you're so far away I hope and I pray Somewhere in your heart I'll always stay Girl, 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 without you This is more for me than for you Girl, I finally see there's no substitute For what we have Do you know how much I love you 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 Girl, 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 without you
