The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

But when I awoke, dear, I was mistakenSo I bowed my head and I 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 will 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

Please, don′t take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me

And no one else could come between

But now you′ve left me to love another

You have shattered all of my dreams

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

Please, don't take my sunshine away
