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

[Chorus]
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
Stay the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all someday

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
