The other night dear, as I lay sleepin'   I dreamt I held you in my arms   When I awoke dear, I was mistaken   And I hunged 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      You told me once dear, that you really love me   And no one else could come between   But now you've left me and you 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
