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. So please don't take my sunshine away. The other night dear, when I lay sleeping, I dreamt 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. So please don't take my sunshine away.
