Sun Don't Shine
Embracing Change: Love's Journey Beyond the Shadows
Lyrics
She said "alright,
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment
I gotta tell you something that's been on my mind"
Preparing to share something important on her mind
I know, old friend
Acknowledging a long-standing connection with the person
She told me she was in the business of loving again
Revealing her involvement in a new romantic relationship
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about the situation
But I could see it when I saw you look into his eyes
Observing the emotional connection between the person and someone else
I'm happy for you
Expressing happiness for the person's new relationship
But can I help it if I feel a little bit blue
Admitting a sense of sadness or melancholy despite happiness for the person
The sun don't shine anymore
Noticing a change in the person's attitude or feelings
You won't be here by my door
Accepting the person's absence from their life
So find a way to get by
Encouraging the person to find a way to move forward
You won't be here by my side
Acknowledging the person won't be physically present
I have no ill will
Expressing a lack of resentment or negative feelings
So please remember that I will be loving you still
Committing to continue loving the person despite circumstances
And when I return home
Anticipating a return home despite physical distance
500 miles from here but I won't be alone
Indicating a considerable distance but asserting not being alone
The sun don't shine anymore
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person's absence
You won't be here by my door
Acknowledging the physical absence of the person
So find a way to get by
Encouraging finding a way to cope or move forward
You won't be here by my side
Reaffirming the person's absence from their side
Here by my side
Emphasizing the person's absence by repetition
Here by my side
Repeating the emphasis on the person's absence
Here by my side
Continuing to stress the person's absence
