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 The other night, dear, while I was sleeping I dreamed I held you here in my arms When I woke, dear, I was mistaken And 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 Oh, please don't take my sunshine away Away
