Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The other night, dear, as I 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me and love another
You'll regret it all some day
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one could come between
But now you've left me, to love another
You have shattered all of my dreams
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake, my poor heart, pains
So, won't you come back and make me happy?
I'll forgive, dear, I'll take all the blame
[Verse 8]
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
