The other night, dear, as I lay sleepin'
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

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