[Verse 1]
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So 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

[Chorus]
So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Smilers never lose and frowners never win
So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

[Verse 2]
My mommy told me something that little girls should know
It's all about the devil and I've learned to hate him so
I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling, he'll get tired of hangin' round

[Chorus]
So let the sun shine in (You are my sunshine), face it with a grin (My only sunshine)
Smilers never lose (You make me happy) and frowners never win (When skies are grey)
So let the sun shine in (You never know, dear), face it with a grin (How much I love you)
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
So let the sun shine in (You are my sunshine), face it with a grin (My only sunshine)
Smilers never lose (You make me happy) and frowners never win (When skies are grey)
So let the sun shine in (You never know, dear), face it with a grin (How much I love you)
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
