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 now you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
You made me happy when skies were gray
You'll never know dear, how much I loved you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt you held me in your arms
But when I woke, dear, I was mistaken
And I held my head and I cried.
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
You made me happy when skies were gray
You'll never know dear, how much I loved you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
You made me happy when skies were gray
You'll never know dear, how much I loved you
How could you take my sunshine away?
