The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried

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

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To have another
You'll regret it all someday

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
You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And loved another
You have shattered all my dreams

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know just how much I love you
I do

Please don't take my sunshine away [x4]

Please, please don't take
My sunshine away
My sunshine away from me
[x3]

Please, please don't take
My sunshine away from me
