Lyrics

The sky is full of clouds
And the rain is pouring down
It's Sunday afternoon
There's nobody else around
I'm stuck here by myself
And you're so far away
I only wish you'd come on back
And say you're gonna stay
For you there is no substitute
You're the sunshine in my day

The night grows dark and cold
The wind begins to howl
The lights have all gone out
You can hear the stillness prowl
There's nothing I can do
And nowhere I can go
To escape this constant sadness
And sorrow that I know
For you there is no substitute
You're the sunshine in my day

I've tried so hard
To chase these blues away
Somehow they always return
It happens every time
Someone mentions your name
Maybe someday I'll learn

But tonight I'll dream again
About another time
When I had warmth and light
And you were truly mine
And maybe in the morning
A letter will convey
That you'll be coming back to me
And this time you'll really stay
For you there is no substitute
You're the sunshine in my day
