The other night dear as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke dear I was mistaken So I hung my head and I 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 And nothing else could come between But now you've left me to love another You have shattered all of my dreams 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
