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

The other night dear,

as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I awoke, dear,

I was mistaken

So I hung my head and I cried.

You told me once, dear,

you really loved me

And no one else could come between.

But not you've left me

and love another;

You 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
