Text

Chorus:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,

G D

You make me happy when skies are gray.

G D

You'll never know, dear, how much I love you,

(D) A D

Please don't take my sunshine away

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 (Chorus)

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 (Chorus)

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 (Chorus)
