The warmth of the sun

What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way For I have the warmth of the sun
Within me at night
The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way""
"" Still I have the warmth of the sun
Within me tonight (within me tonight)
