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 I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I miss 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 love another, you'll regret it all some day: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I miss 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 not, you've left me and love another; you have shattered all my dreams you are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I miss you. Please don't take my sunshine away
