Ain't No Sunshine (2:02)
From Lean on Me: The Best of Bill Withers and 324 other releases
Bill Withers told Songfacts that an inspiration for this song was the 1962 movie Days of Wine and Roses .
“I was watching a movie called Days Of Wine And Roses (1962) with Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon. They were both alcoholics who were alternately weak and strong. It’s like going back for seconds on rat poison. Sometimes you miss things that weren’t particularly good for you. It’s just something that crossed my mind from watching that movie, and probably something else that happened in my life that I’m not aware of.”

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She always gone too long anytime she goes away
