The other night, dear, 
As I lay sleeping 
I dreamed I held you in my arms. 
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 grey. 
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 
To love another 
You'll regret it all some day; 

You are my sunshine, 
My only sunshine. 
You make me happy 
When skies are grey. 
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 
And no one else [bad word] between 
But now you've left me 
And love another 
You have shattered all my dreams; 

You are my sunshine, 
My only sunshine. 
You make me happy 
When skies are grey. 
You'll never know, dear, 
How much I love you. 
Please don't take my sunshine away.
