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 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'll only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all someday.

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,
Please don't take my sunshine away...
