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:
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are grey.
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.
If you will only say the same,
but if you leave me to love another
you'll regret it all same day:
You are my sunshine ...

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 sunshine ...
