the other night, dear, as i lay sleeping

I dreamed i held you in my arms

When i awoke, dear, i was mistaken

So i hung my head and cried



You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

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 to love another

You'll regret it all someday



You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

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 my dreams.



You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know, dear, how much i love you

Please don't take my sunshine away
