WOKE UP THIS MORNING, I SAW A EMPTY BED.
WHERE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WOY I SAW A NOTE INSTEAD.
WHEN I OPEN IT UP NOW LORD THIS IS WHAT IT READ:
BYE BYE BABY BYE BYE YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND THAT?S NO LIE
BUT I FOUND MYSELF ANOTHER BONAFIDE.
EVERYTHING I WANT HE CAN BUY.
NEVER WANNA CRY NEVER WANNA SHED NO TEARS
BUT WHEN I LOOK UPON THEM WASTED YEARS
I GOT TO SAY WHY BABY WHY BABY WHY
CHORUS
YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY, YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY
AND DARKNESS COVER MY HEAD AND IT RAIN AND IT RAIN
YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY,
WHY YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY AWAY
VERSE 2
TOOK DOWN YOUR PICTURES OFF THE WALL I TOOK THEM DOWN.
DON?T WANNA SEE YOUR FACE AT ALL AT ALL
BUT THE SCENT OF YOUR PERFUME LORD STILL LINGERS IN THE ROOM
OVERWHELMING AND TAKING CONTROL.
IS THERE NO ESCAPING LORD THE MEMORY OF YOU OH NO.
SEARCH SEARCH HIGH AND LOW. SEARCH EVERYWHERE THAT I KNOW YOU GO.
CALLING YOUR FRIENDS THE ONES I KNOW,
TELLING THEM TO TELL YOU THAT I WON?T LET GO.
NEVER WANNA CRY NEVER WANNA SHED A TEAR
BUT WHEN I LOOK UPON THEM WASTED YEARS
I HAVE TO SAY WHY BABY WHY BABY WHY.
CHORUS
YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY, YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY
AND DARKNESS COVER MY HEAD AND IT RAIN AND IT RAIN
YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY,
WHY YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY AWAY
VERSE 3
NOW TEARS GONNA BE ON MY PILLOW.
I A WEEP LIKE A WEEPING WILLOW.
MY HEART YOU DASH IT THROUGH THE WINDOW
NOW I AM LONELY LONELY LONELY NOW.
THIS IS THE THANKS I GET FOR LOVING BLINDLY.
I WAS SO LOST NO ONE COULD FIND ME FIND ME.
I NEVER SAW IT COMING COMING.
I TREAT YOU SO GOOD AND NOW YOU START RUNNING RUNNING.
CHORUS
YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY, YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY
AND DARKNESS COVER MY HEAD AND IT RAIN AND IT RAIN
YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY,
WHY YOU TOOK MY SUNSHINE AWAY AWAY
WHERE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WOY I SAW A NOTE INSTEAD.
WHEN I OPEN IT UP NOW LORD THIS IS WHAT IT READ:
BYE BYE BABY BYE BYE YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND THAT?S NO LIE

AND DARKNESS COVER MY HEAD AND IT RAIN AND IT RAIN
