[Verse 1]
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

The other night, dear
While I was sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
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
The other night, dear
While I was sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried
