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, 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 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 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 love you   Please don't take my sunshine away      You told me once dear, you really loved me   And no one else dear, could come between   But now 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 love you   Please don't take my sunshine away
