You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when you go down
Temperature rising, distance despisin'
I'll just hide 'till the dawn comes around
I'm glad that you woke up
Your backwash in my coffee cup
My home's too small for you
I'm too in love with you
I'll just lay here until the moon comes out
I'm not defined by the rays you share
But I'm still cold when there's fog in the air
Such a dramatic change
From Spring's love to Summer's rage
In your arms, I learned what loneliness is all about
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when you go down
Temperature rising, distance despisin'
I'll just hide 'till the dawn comes around
Scorching day is coming to an end
The night tells me she wants to play again
She'll bring the gentle breeze
As many starbeams as I please
And the moon can kiss all my sunburns away
I wonder, will the dawn bring misery?
As I cry and sweat away my dignity
Come noon high, I will scream
This Icarus mentality
Will surely be the death of me someday
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when you go down
Temperature rising, distance despisin'
I'll just hide 'till the dawn comes around
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
My flesh is scorched by another day
That's how God made you, so I can't hate you
Bid thee farewell, to die in the shade
Bid thee farewell, to die in the shade
Please don't take my sunshine away
