The other night dear, as I lay sleepin'
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But 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 and 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
That no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another

You have shattered all of 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
