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 laid sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, 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,
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 gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
