英文蓝调歌曲：Charlie Wilson - Thinkin' Of You

Mmm, hmm

It feels like a lifetime¹, 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 breath²
And my life ended

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 substitute³
For what we have
Do you know how much I love you?

And that we shared, I can't forget
Girl, a love like yours
I'll never let just slip⁴ away
Just promise that you'll stay

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
And my life ended

Had to say just what I was feeling, girl
'Cause my sun doesn't shine
Sun doesn't shine without you

Have you ever seen a flower that did not bloom⁵?
Seen a starless night without the moon?
Well, that's me without you?
So come back and turn my nights into days

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
And my life ended

Had to say just what I was feeling, girl
'Cause my sun doesn't shine
Sun doesn't shine without you
