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 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
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not 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
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
