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 my sunshine away The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. Chorus: 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 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: Chorus 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 you dear, I'll take all the blame. Chorus (with treble chord at end) |
