Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're the sweetest thing I know
You dim the rainbow's glow
There's no power on this earth
To separate us, baby
[Verse 2]
'Cause you are my sunshine
And you are, you are, you're mine all mine, yeah
[Verse 3]
When it rained on my parade
You were there to light the way
You're rare as a rose in winter
You're more, more than I deserve, 'cause
[Verse 4]
You, you are
(You are my sunshine)
You brighten up my darkest day, yeah, you
(You are mine, all mine)
You're mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
Baby, it's you
[Verse 5]
Words like darling, sweetheart, forever
Girl, it's you I'll always adore
They only say I love you
But you mean so much more, 'cause
[Verse 6]
(You are my sunshine)
You are, you are, you are, you are, you're my sunshine
My sunshine, baby, baby
(You are mine, all mine)
You are, you're mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
And you, you are, you're my sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
[Verse 7]
And you're everything to me, all I ever need
(You are mine, all mine)
I gotta love you, sweetie, honey, baby
(You are my sunshine) You are, you are, you are
You're my sunshine, my sunshine, my sunshine
You are (You are mine)
