You Are My Sunshine The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms, When I awoke 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. I told you once dear, I'd always love you, If you would only stay the same, And 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'd always love me, And no one else would come between, But now you left me to 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.
