Full Lyrics

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.

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms,
But when I woke, 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 one day.
