Love Me 'Till The Sun Shines
The Kinks · Something Else by The Kinks [1967]
You don't have to smile at me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You don't have to cook for me
You don't have to laugh with me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Take my money, I don't mind
You can be such a helpless kind
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You don't have to sleep with me
Or rest your head upon my knee
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Baby you can wear my clothes,
Play my records, stay at my home
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You can take it, I don't mind
Please don't be such a helpless kind
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Baby, baby I don't know what I'm doing
Everything I do it turns to ruin
Baby you can kiss my friends
Baby there's nothing that I'll end
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You don't have to walk the streets
When there's someone waiting here
Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines
Come on, baby, I don't mind
Two lonely people, the helpless kind
Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines
You don't have to look at me
You don't have to smile at me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You don't have to cook for me
You don't have to laugh with me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Take my money, I don't mind
You can be such a helpless kind
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Love Me 'Till The Sun Shines
Released on The Kinks' 1967 album Something Else by The Kinks, "Love Me 'Till The Sun Shines" stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-period pop-rock sound. Written by Ray Davies, the track blends upbeat rhythms with a melancholic undertone, characteristic of the group's ability to juxtapose cheerful melodies with introspective lyrics. As part of the band's extensive catalogue from the late 1960s, the recording showcases the polished production and songwriting prowess that defined The Kinks' contribution to British Invasion music. The song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the era's focus on youth culture and personal relationships while maintaining the band's distinct vocal style and rhythmic drive.
