Each dawn I watch the sun rise in the sky
Another day's begun and how will I get through this one?
Washed in the morning light
Each dawn I watch the sun rise in the sky
Another day's begun and how will I get through this one?
Washed in the morning light
It's all so clear
I made it thought the night
Convinced myself that you're still here

Oh no you're gone
I'll be someone that you can go
And always rely on
And you safe please stay away
I'll disappear and you'll never see me

All through my waking hours
Daydreams of you
If I don't see you soon
I don't believe I will get through
I can't go on this way
This much is true
The piece I'm forced to pay
I never would have agreed to

Oh no you're gone
I'll be someone that you can go
And always rely on
And you safe please stay away
I'll disappear and you'll never see me

Oh no you're gone
I'll be someone that you can go
And always rely on
And you safe please stay away
I'll disappear and you'll never see me

And as the day turns blue my emptiness
Is filled with thoughts of you
And I don't think I can make it
Here in the darkest night no peace I find
My head is filled with lies
And all the love you left behind

Oh no you're gone
I'll be someone that you can go
And always rely on
And you safe please stay away
I'll disappear and you'll never see me
Oh no you're gone
I'll be someone that you can go
And always rely on
And you safe please stay away
I'll disappear and you'll never see me

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
