WITHOUT SUNSHINE


When the sun got up this morning it was just another day
I was off to work by seven, blew a kiss and drove away
But a note upon the table lay in wait for me at home
To tell me I would now be spending all my nights alone

Now if sadder things have happened, well I don't remember when
But I've made it down life's road this far and I'm nowhere near the end
My needs are fairly simple and I know that I'll get by
For I don't intend to break or bend
And I will not lay down without a fight

And I will live without sunshine
And I will do without rain
And I won't need to feel a summer breeze
Upon my face again
And I suppose I'll get along without you
Every now and then
And if I never love again I'll be alright
But I don't think I can make it through tonight

Now a heart that's badly broken very often comes back strong
And if I survive this last goodbye I intend to carry on
I can marshal my defenses, I can build a higher wall
I can feel a little less each day
Till I no longer feel a thing at all

And I can live without sunshine
And I can do without rain
And I won't need to feel a summer breeze
Upon my face again
And I suppose I'll get along without you
Every now and then
And if I never love again I'll be alright
But I don't think I can make it through tonight

If the morning finds me standing
The battle will be won
And I'll be free when all is said and done
Cause tonight's the last time I'll need anyone

And I can live without sunshine......
