[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
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

[Verse 1: Joy Williams]
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamnt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

[Verse 2: John Paul White]
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

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
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

[Verse 3: John Paul White]
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 and take all the blame
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
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
Oh, please don't take my sunshine away
Oh, please don't take my sunshine away
