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 I 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

stay the same

But if you leave me

and 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

could come between

But now you've left me

to Iove another

You have shattered

all of 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

In all my dreams dear

you seem to leave me

When I awake

my poor heart pains

So won't you come back

and make me happy

I'll forgive dear

I'll take all the blame

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
