The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,

I dreamed I held you in my arms,

but when I woke dear, I was mistaken,

and I hung my head and 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 to 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

that 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 gray,

you’ll never know dear, how much I love you,

please don’t take my sunshine away.
