这首歌被收录在Bill Withers1971年9月发布的专辑Just as I Am中。当时一经发售，就排在Billboard Hot 100排行第三。这首歌也不下被翻唱过上百次，还被翻译成各国语言。我第一次接触这首歌是很早之前看电影Notting Hill听到的，所以每次都很有代入感。另外还有数不清的电影电视用这首歌作为原声带。这首歌被Rolling Stone选为有史以来最伟大的500首歌中的第285位。另外值得调侃的是，每次我唱到二段副歌的I Know我都快断气了，哈哈。
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
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know...
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
