You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You never know, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away The other night, as I lay sleeping I dreamt a light, entered my heart When I awoke, I was mistaken Ah, but the curtains were still blown apart You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You never know, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away My mama once told me What a soul should know It's about the devil, and I hate him so He'll be crying, if we don't frown And keep on smiling He'll stop hanging around You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You never know, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
