Lyrics of
Ain't No Sunshine

Aint No Sunshine was written by Bill Withers about the painful experience of a young love ending. The lyrics reflect the feeling of loss and longing. Withers was inspired by a movie he was watching, and the theme of romantic disappointment. He didn’t expect the song to be a hit and was surprised by the huge impact it made.

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
Wonder this time where she's gone
 Wonder if she's gone to stay
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
 Only darkness everyday
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
 Anytime she goes away
 Anytime she goes away
