Tweet   The original song was from a French Singer Nicoletta with the title "Il est mort le soleil" . The story goes that Ray Charles listened to Nicoletta’s album and loved it and asked her if he could record the song in english.  "The sun died The sun died, with my love When you left me blue, the summer died too My love and the sun, it's the same The sun died The sun died, with my lo More..ve And I'm so alone, and yet life goes on But for me, there can be no more dawn Yesterday, the coldest winter was like Spring I thought my love would always stay I thought our love would never end But that was yesterday The sun died The sun died, with my love And life's all in vain, in my heart there's rain And I know that my soul won't stop crying Yesterday, when I was looking in your eyes I thought it was sweet paradise For love completely changed my life But that was yesterday The sun died The sun died, with my love When you left me blue, the summer died too My love and the sun, it's the same My love and the sun, it's the same"
