The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Lyrics


It's hard to see you walk away
it hurts to see you go
but if I asked you to stay
would it matter anywayI'm not surprised you're leaving
I've known it all along
but my life will still go on
yes, my life will still go onI'll find a way to make it through
the long and lonely night
find a way to live without you
without you in my life'cause baby, baby
the sun ain't gonna shine if you're not with me
I'll live without the love you have to give me
I'll make it through the night
I'm gonna be alrightbut baby, baby
the stars ain't gonna dance across the heavens
the moon is gonna hide away forever
I know I'll make it through
but it won't be the same without you, baby

without you, babymaybe I'll be better
better on my own
I can stay out all night long
I'll have a good time when you're gonemaybe it won't be so bad
to be here all alone
I'll have all the time to do
all the things I wanna doso go ahead and walk away
if that's what you wanna do
'cause I've got my life to live
and I can live it without you'cause baby, baby
the sun ain't gonna shine if you're not with me
I'll live without the love you have to give me
I'll make it through the night
I'm gonna be alrightbut baby, baby
the stars ain't gonna dance across the heavens
the moon is gonna hide away forever
I know I'll make it through
but it won't be the same without you, baby
without you, babyI'll find a way to make it
through the long and lonely night
find a way to live without you in my life
without you in my life'cause baby, baby
the sun ain't gonna shine if you're not with me
I'll live without the love you have to give me
I'll make it through the night
I'm gonna be alrightbut baby, baby
the stars ain't gonna dance across the heavens
the moon is gonna hide away forever
I know I'll make it through
but it won't be the same without youthe sun ain't gonna shine if you're not with me
I'll live without the love you have to give me
I'll make it through the night
I'm gonna be alright...

Four Tops are an American Motown musical quartet, whose repertoire has included doo-wop, jazz, soul music, rnb, disco, adult contemporary, showtunes, and even psychedelic rock. Founded in Detroit, Michigan as The Four Aims, lead singer Levi Stubbs and group mates Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson, and Lawrence Payton remained together for over four decades, finally forced to endure a lineup change when Payton died in 1997. At that time, Theo Peoples was added to the lineup; Peoples later replaced Stubbs, who fell ill from cancer, and Ronnie McNeir assumed Peoples' spot. In July, 2005, Benson died of lung cancer with Payton's son Roquel replacing him. And as of April, 2005, Fakir, McNeir, Payton and Peoples still perform together as Four Tops. Stubbs passed away in 2008.

Among a number of groups who helped define the Motown Sound of the 1960s, including The Miracles, The Marvelettes, The Temptations and The Supremes, Four Tops were notable for having Stubbs, a baritone, as their lead singer; most groups of the time were fronted by a tenor. The group was the main male vocal group for the songwriting and production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, who crafted for the group a stream of popular hit singles, including two #1 hits: "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" and "Reach Out I'll Be There". After Holland-Dozier-Holland left Motown in 1967, Four Tops were assigned to a number of producers, primarily Frank Wilson. When Motown left Detroit in 1972 to move to Los Angeles, California, the Tops stayed in Detroit and moved over to ABC Records, where they continued to have charting singles into the late-1970s. Since the 1980s, Four Tops have recorded for, at various times, Motown, Casablanca Records, and Arista Records.
