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
Make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

--- Instrumental ---

'Cause I will always love you and make you happy
If you will only stay the same
And if you leave me to love another
Then you'll shatter all of my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
Make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, just how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I dreamed I held you in my arms
Till I awokein', I was mistaken
Till I hung my head and I cry.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, just how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

'Cause I will always love you and make you happy
If you will only stay the same
And if you leave me to love another
Then you'll shatter all of my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy...
