CHORUS
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.
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.

CHORUS
2.
I'll always love you
and make you happy
if you will only say the same;
but if you leave me
to love another,
you'll regret it all some day;

CHORUS
3.
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 my dreams.
