Neil Diamond - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore Lyrics






Loneliness
Well it's the coat you wear
It's a deep shade of blue
And it's always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Emptiness
It's the place you're in
With no more to lose but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Lonely,
Without you, baby
Oh, I need you
I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

Neil Diamond The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore Comments
  1. -.... s....

    love the accent!

  2. P.... D....

    The composers behind this tune are Bob gaudio and Bob Crewe, there would have been no Frankie Valli without those two writing most of the hits for the Four Seasons...

  3. M.... G....

    This man sang and performed others' songs better than they did lol

  4. E.... F....

    Slows it down....

  5. D.... U....

    The best version is by Quantize.

  6. O.... P....

    That voice, that wonderful voice...

  7. A.... S....

    Fraquinho demais, prefiro Russell, vocalista do Air Supply. https://youtu.be/pI9KE8UkQk8

  8. C.... N....

    he was awared with a special life to delude the world, and ended in him being losing his mind

  9. S.... G....

    I just realized after listening to this song off and on for over a week that I like it just as much as the Walker version.

  10. M.... V....

    De beste zanger, de mooiste stem en liedjes, marian

  11. H.... G....

    Love you music Danmark

  12. N.... P....

    I love these different renditions

  13. D.... S....

    Bravo neill..

  14. A.... ....

    A DIAMOND version ! DO NOT Compare ! Just take it if you like it ! Here is another feeling of the Song by Neil !

  15. B.... W....

    I thought at one point he was gonna say the Hell with this and go right into Sweet Caroline

  16. d.... ....

    From a thumbs up. Where did you get your pictures?

  17. p.... ....

    Love Neil Diamond, but he totally lacks the feeling of the Walker Brothers version.

  18. m.... r....

    i guess air supply is the most perfect for this song...

    m.... r....

    The Walkers brothers are a lot better

    m.... r....

    Phung Ngo Neill zingt dit lied op een andere manier, zijn manier, zoals hij het wilt, liefs marian.

  19. 6.... ....

    Sorry Neil. The Walker Brothers are the owners of this song. You don't come close.

    6.... ....

    I agree, doesn't work for Neil. Sorry Neil fans.

  20. a.... d....

    Have loved the music and voice of this man since i first heard cracklin rosie

    a.... d....

    Yes! It was Cracklin Rosie that got me hooked on Neil Diamond as well!!

    a.... d....

    someone explain child to me.

  21. M.... V....

    This is well done but I would rate the versions as follows:
    1) Walker Brothers 2)Jay and the Americans 3) The Four Seasons 4) Neil

  22. g.... ....

    Really, really nice version and I love Neil---- but I'll take the Walker Brothers any day of the week, month or year. Some people think the Walker version is over orchestrated but that's exactly what I love about it.

  23. J.... `....

    Love Neil, one of the best from the 60s, but he's talking this song too much. Walkers better even though it's over orchestrated over the vocals

    J.... `....

    they projected a strength with the song

  24. L.... H....

    I know the Walker Brothers did this song and did it well yet I like Neil's version and heard him sing it here in town many years ago I think better than it is on this recording. Early Neil was the best but the Diamond songs now are far worse he has lost touch and his background music is not what it was back then

    L.... H....

    I agree, he lost it a long time ago.

    L.... H....

    Have you even listened to Home Before Dark? Brilliant work.

  25. B.... M....

    La mejor versión de esta canción...

  26. R.... P....

    Always love the way Bob Gaudio produced some of Diamonds recordings. He had his own style.

  27. M.... D....

    i'll take neil who was a walker fan - i will take neil's

  28. J.... T....

    Love this guy

  29. S.... L....

    niel any song live > though haha

  30. S.... L....

    i like this version, niel has his charms, but i still think the frankie valley version is best, though this one is very good

  31. L.... H....

    Great song by a great star!  Brings back memories everytime I hear this song!!!!!1

    L.... H....

    +Les Hemingway I don't know what memories it could stir since it wasn't his hit to begin with. I love Neil Diamond but this is mediocre at best...and I mean by comparison. I always try to judge anything a great vocalist covers by asking myself...If you had never heard the original...would you like this one? I must say no...and I really must on this song...this just doesn't hit it for me in any way despite Neil's talent. I don't like the delivery or the arrangement but it is typically Neil..

  32. s.... ....

    Neil Diamond sounds beautiful . Great voice , Neil is number one !!!!
     Neil can draw in billions of fans  !!!!!

  33. T.... ....

    He did it HIS way. Is it as good as the Walker Bros or 4 Seasons? Just different. If I could only have it by one artist it would be the Walker Bros.

  34. S.... ....

    Enjoy listening to Neil Diamond  all by myself !!!!   Thanks for sharing your music !!!!!

  35. M.... R....

    Simplemente el mas grande de todos los tiempos NEIL DIAMOND.

  36. P.... K....

    This definitely is terrible .. one that Neil should forget  ...

  37. M.... D....

    A GREAT SONG covered by so many   music IS  our SOUL

  38. t.... g....

    sorry! walker brothers much better!

    t.... g....

    +terrence gurnee He always does a great job, but cant compare to the Walker Brothers!

  39. A.... C....

    Very, very beauty-full ....

  40. K.... ....

    No, no and no again!  Neil Diamond blew this one in every way possible!

    K.... ....

    What I said was that I thought he erred in the choices he made when covering other peoples music.  Those songs I listed, and more, that he decided to cover goes beyond erring, in my opinion.  By the same token, he covered many others that were as good as and sometimes better than the original!  As, I said, it really is a matter of personal taste.  Elvis was great, but not perfect.  No one who had performed on the stages of the world as long as he did can only bank on their "Hits" and it is wise to try to change it up as often as they can...but I think they should understand their limitations.  I adored Elvis but not to the point of thinking he could do no wrong vocally.  I love other artists as well and I've heard many a singer ruin a song in their interpretation of that song.  No one is perfect...not Elvis, not you nor I nor anyone else.

    K.... ....

    @Kuklapolitan Agree with you regarding it being a matter of personal taste. I too thought the world of the guy but also appreciate the fact he was human and like all of us, made mistakes. We will have to agree to disagree on the songs you listed. 

    K.... ....

    +hirdy6 I'm happy to hear that!

    K.... ....

    +Kuklapolitan OMG, I TOTALLY agree. I LOVE Neil Diamond.....and this one doesn't come remotely close to the Walker Brothers... not remotely!!

    K.... ....

    +tantraman10...Thanks! I'm glad you hear what I hear on this one. Neil was great song writer and vocalist...and it's a typically Neil Diamond sound, but it's certainly not my taste and it dims by comparison! This one clearly belongs to the Walker Bothers...hands down.

  41. D.... K....

    He truly is the best.

  42. g.... ....

    I agree Kitty. I love the man!

  43. G.... M....

    there is nothing better than the version from the Walker Brothers

  44. B.... ....

    The original was by Franki Valli in 1965, The Walker Brother's is a cover.

  45. M.... g....

    El Diamante és úna Joya rara?? desde cuando? que yo sepa és la Joya mas Clasica desde que el Mundo és mundo, O las traducciones son malas O la Gente no sabe de que habla.

  46. L.... ....

    Hehe ever lived in Northumberland mate? lol

  47. K.... K....

    There isn't a song sung by Neil Diamond that doesn't bring great memories to me; perhaps, not when he made the albums, but later when I started to listen to his verse - in all songs. His heart is so full; he is a woman's man! No man can be a woman's man without lessons in these words. Woman are strong fantastic creatures, but fragile and thus freightful like a bird. We are a curious creation; but, You Tube, keep reminding me why I breathe. Thank You. KittyKelso

  48. M.... ....

    I like the way he does the chorus but not the verses.

  49. A.... W....

    truly madly deeply♥

  50. j.... ....

    @Treaty4 I only know this version & it's perfect & I love it!:)

  51. R.... D....

    @shilo507 Not to be "that guy," but the original version is by Frankie Valli.

  52. V.... N....

    A diamond, a rare jewel...

  53. M.... D....

    @shilo507 - the walker brother's got the song from Bob Crewe who wrote the song for his band the Four Season.

  54. M.... ....

    @shilo507 Sorry but Neil really didn't hit home on this one.

  55. j.... ....

    HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

  56. p.... ....

    @MrJComedyNights
    Neil Diamond used to be one of my favourites. I even saw him live once. But wow, what an arrogant twit he became. I'm sure if he covers a hit, it is only to try and better the guys who made it famous first time around...

  57. T.... ....

    This doesn't make me think of zombies.

  58. p.... ....

    This is borderline William Shatner. Good God! Death - where is thy sting?

  59. L.... F....

    The original was done by Frankie Valli And The 4 Seasons, written by Bob Gaudio with Bob Crewe their Producer assisting on the lyrics.

  60. T.... ....

    @kate03051993

    To compare Neil Diamond with a no-talent hack like Keane is an insult on epic porprtions

  61. d.... ....

    Me encanta esta version! Como pasa el tiempo!

  62. M.... L....

    other have sung it much better---as Walker Brothers
