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

So please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my tired arms

When I awoke dear, I was mistaken

So I bowed 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

So please don't take my sunshine away.

I've always loved you, made you happy

And nothin' else could come between

But now you've left me to love another

And you shattered all 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

So please don't take my sunshine away.

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

So please don't take my sunshine away.
