Lyrics: Pure Prairie League. Mementos 1971-1987. Sun Shone Lightly.


The sun shone lightly thru my window this morning
To bad you weren't here to help me get by
Ever since you've left my heart has been in mourning
I lost your love but I still don't know why

I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry

Why did you leave me can you can give me a reason
Was it for the love of another man
My eyes are weary from the crying hours
Like the tears that left me I have no where to run
I don't know if I wanna go on living

I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry

[Solo]

I don't know if I wanna go on living
I don't think that I will even try
Life is harder than I ever imagined
Without you standing here right by my side
I just break down and cry
