You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please, don't take my sunshine away The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried 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 of my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear, how much I love you Please, don't take my sunshine away Please, don't take my sunshine away Please, don't take my sunshine away
