The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
but when I woke dear, I was mistaken
so 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 would only do the same
If you leave me to love another
You’ll regret it all someday
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, that you never hurt me
that nothing else could come between
but now you’ve left me to 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
