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 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
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
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
You told me once, dear,
you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not 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.
