For No One (Dementia Version)

Ain't No Sunshine

  Ain't No Sunshine (Good Day Sunshine) Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no sunshine   Ain't no sunshine, when the shadows fall, Dark clouds linger, hear the heart's call. Lost in the echoes, of a silent plea, A sombre melody, whispers within me.   Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no   sunshine   Ain't no sunshine, in this heavy night, Longing for dawn, to bring back the light.   Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no   sunshine   Behind the smiles, lies a tale untold, Aching hearts, in a world so cold. But maybe, just maybe, there's a way to find, A glimmer of sunshine, in the corners of the mind.   Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no   sunshine Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no sunshine Ain’t no   sunshine Ain’t no sunshine
