you are my sunshine

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

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
