The other night dear
as I lay sleepin'
I dreamed I held you
in my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
and I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You'll never know dear
how much I love you
Please don't take
my sunshine away
I'll always love you
and make you happy
if you will only say the same
But if you leave me
to love another
you'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You'll never know dear
how much I love you
Please don't take
my sunshine away
You told me once dear
you really loved me
and no one else could
come between
But now you've left me
and love another
You have shattered
all my dreams
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
Well you make me happy
when skies are grey
Yes you'll never know dear
how much I love you
Please don't take
my sunshine away
Said please don't take
my sunshine away
