Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 cried
[Verse 2]
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
[Verse 3]
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in
[Verse 4]
My mommy told me something that little girls should know
It's all about the Devil and I've learned to hate him so
I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hangin' 'round
[Verse 5]
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in
[Verse 6]
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in
