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 lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

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

In my dreams dear,
you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains
So when [bad word] back
and make me happy
I'll forgive, I'll take the blame 

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

Please don't take my sunshine away
