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 will only say the same
But if you leave me to have 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 and I'm just nothing
You have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know just how much I love you, I do
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please, please don't take my sunshine away
Sunshine away from me
Please, please don't take my sunshine away
Sunshine away from me
Please, please don't take my sunshine away
Sunshine away from me
Please, please don't take my sunshine away from me
