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
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another
You'll regret it all some day.
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.
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 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.
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you, dear, I'll take all the blame.
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
