In the distance I can see the sun is shining pleasantly
but where I am is cold and gray. Why that should be I cannot say.
Perhaps because I’m missing you and that in fact it isn’t true. And that in fact the sun does shine on me but can’t relieve the misery
I feel when you are far away without you every day is gray
I am quite ready to concede you are the only one I need.
When you are near my world is bright, your presence fills me with delight.
I simply state because it’s true the only sun I need is you
