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 laid sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So 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
