Lyrics :

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

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

The other night as I lay dreaming
I dreamed I held you, yes I held you in my arms
When I awoke love, I say I was mistaken
And now, now I hung my head and cry

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

The other night as I lay dreaming
I dreamed I held you, yes I held you in my arms
When I awoke love, I say I was mistaken
And now, now I hung my head and cry

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