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 do the same
But if you leave me for 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
So please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
I was peepin' through the bars
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
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
So please don't take my sunshine away
