The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
|
I dreamed I held you in my arms
|
But 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 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 and 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 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 love another;
|
You have shattered all of 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 love you
|
Please don't take my sunshine away
|
|
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
|
When I awake my poor heart pains.
|
So when you come back and make me happy
|
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
|
|
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
|
