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 l lay sleeping
i dreamed i held you in my arms
but when i awoke, dear, i was mistaken
and i hung my head and i cried
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 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
please don't take my sunshine away
please don't take my sunshine away
