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 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

and nothing else could come between

but if you leave me to love another

you'll 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
