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

The other night dear as I laid sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried

I'll always love ya, and make you happy
If you will only promise me the same, my darlin'
But if you leave to love another you'll miss me, my darlin'
I remember every single thing you told to me

You told me once dear you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

You are my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know how much I love you
So, please, don't, take, my sunshine away
