Never in Your Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met her at lover's park
One rainy April Monday
Smiling soft and warm as on
A clear December Sunday
Wearing taffeta and lace
That matched her braided hair
With their coraled beads that sang to me
She said "hi" and asked me why
Was I looking with sorrow
When there were much brighter days
In store for me tomorrow
I looked up at her and smiled
And said, why I don't know
But would she agree, to stay with me
And she said

[Chorus]
Never in your sun, she said
Never in your sun, then she said
I will only come
In your pouring rain to relieve the pain


[Harmonica solo]

[Verse 2]
So if you are at lover's park
And someone looks with sorrow
Ask them why are they so sad
When sunshine's theirs tomorrow
They'll reply they don't know why
And ask you please to stay
Until the end of time, and when they're fine
[Outro]
Be kind and say
Never in your sun, just tell them
Never in your sun, then say
I will only come
In your pouring rain, to relieve the pain, never, ever
Never in your sun, never in your sun, believe that
I will only come
In your pouring rain to relieve the pain

Genius Annotation

On the fifth song of his 1985 album, Stevie Wonder spins a perplexing tale of meeting an enigmatic and enchanting woman. Though his lyrics are easy to follow, Wonder offers little clarity as to the song’s meaning. Regardless, the song delights thanks to its catchy melodies, snapping rhythm, and Stevie’s trademark musical ubiquity.
