You took my sunshine with you
that dark and mournful day.
Turning my world around me
Into the color gray.
Your voice was like concrete
that I learned to lean upon.
When times got cold and hard,
I turned you up and sang along.
Now my lovely days are broken,
scattered in the breeze.
A song I’ll keep repeating
to set my soul at ease.
Farewell Mr. Withers,
your memory will stay.
I’ll keep your rhyme within me
as I walk on life’s pathway.
Alas poor Bill, I knew him Horatio
“Ain’t no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away” - Bill Withers, Ain’t No Sunshine
