Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The other night
As I lay sleepin'
Whoa, I dreamed I held you
Held you in my arms
Whoa, but when I woke up this mornin' now
I found out I was mistaken
Do you know that I hung my
I hung my head and cried
[Verse 2]
Whoa, you are my sunshine (You are my sunshine)
Whoa, my only sunshine (My only sunshine)
Whoa, little girl, you make me happy sometimes (You make me happy)
Now when my skies are gray (When skies are gray)
Mhmm, you'll never, never, never know, know now (You'll never know, dear)
How much I love you (How much I love you)
Whoa, and I don't want you to take (Don't take my sunshine)
My sunshine away (Shine away)
[Verse 3]
You told me once, dear
That you really loved me
And no one else
Could ever come between, yeah
Now you left me
And you love another, yeah
And you have shattered, whoa, yeah
All of my dreams
[Verse 4]
Whoa, you are my sunshine (You are my sunshine)
Whoa, my only sunshine (My only sunshine)
Whoa, you make me happy sometimes (You make me happy)
Oh, when the skies are gray (When skies are gray)
Whoa, you'll never, never, never, never know, dear (You'll never know, dear)
How much I love you (How much I love you)
Whoa, I don't want you to take (Don't take my sunshine)
Whoa, if you love me (Don't take my sunshine)
Mhmm, if you need me (Don't take my sunshine) (Whoa, yeah)
Whoa, if you want me (Don't take my sunshine)
Whoa, yes sir (Don't take my sunshine)
I don't want you to take (Don't take my sunshine)
Oh, whoa, yes sir (Don't take my sunshine)
Whoa, I don't want you to take (Don't take my sunshine)
Whoa, my sunshine away (Shine away)
