"The Sun Doesn't Shine Forever" is a song by Duran Duran, released on the album Pop Trash by Hollywood Records on 19 June 2000.

About the song[]

Written by Duran Duran, the song was co-produced by Warren Cuccurullo and Nick Rhodes' TV Mania. The recording was a departure from previous album material, where production was always credited to Duran Duran plus any outside producers. This reflected Simon Le Bon's decreasing involvement in the songwriting, recording and mixing process at the time.

The style of music straddles between a ballad and an uptempo track, which features strong vocals from Simon Le Bon. According to the Miscellaneous Lists Compiled By Nick Rhodes the band have never performed the song live.

Lyrics[]

 At the end of the rainbow
found each other there
Strange we never thought
the colors would fade
Be easy to walk
but it's much harder to stay
Why, oh why are we reckless today?

You and I
got to hold on together
cause in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

Could say that I'm sorry
but there's no one to blame
Anger seems to dissolve into tears
Been so many good times
not only despair
Somehow we'll find the love we can share

You and I
got to hold on together
Cause in this life
maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

You and I
make this life for each other
Cause I believe
we've got enough for
when the sun doesn't shine

You and I
got to hold on together 
Cause in this life
maybe the sun doesn't shine forever
