[Chorus]
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
Don't you take my sunshine away

[Verse]
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you, oh, in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So, you know I hung, I hung my head
Don't you know I cried

[Chorus]
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, please don't take, please don't take
Don't you take, don't take my sunshine away
