1. The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you and my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I lowered my head and I cried.

R: 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.

2. I'll always love you and make you happy,
And nothing else could come between.
But not you've left me to love another
You have shattered all my dreams.

R: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...
