Music : Jimmie Davis/Charles Mitchell
The other night as I lay sleeping, whoa, I dreamed I held you
Held you in my arms, well but when I woke up this morning
I found out I was mistaken, do you know that I hung my
I hung my head and cried?
Whoa, you are my sunshine, you are my sunshine
Oh, my only sunshine, my only sunshine, well little girl
You make me happy sometimes, you make me happy
When my skies are gray, when skies are gray
Um, you'll never never never know dear
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
How much I love you, whoa and I don't want you to take
Don't take my sunshine, my sunshine away, shine away
You told me once, dear that you really loved me
And no one else could ever come between, yeah
But now you left me and you love another, yeah
And you have shattered, oh yeah all of my dreams
Whoa, you are my sunshine, you are my sunshine
Oh, my only sunshine, my only sunshine
Oh, you make me happy sometimes, you make me happy
When my skies are gray, when skies are gray
Whoa, you'll never never never know dear
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
How much I love you, whoa and I don't want you to take
Don't take my sunshine, whoa, if you love me
Don't take my sunshine, um mm, if you need me
Don't take my sunshine, uh huh if you want me
Don't take my sunshine, wah listen
Don't take my sunshine, don't take my sunshine
I don't want you to take, don't take my sunshine
Wah listen, don't take my sunshine
Don't take my sunshine, I don't want you to take
Don't take my sunshine, whoa, my sunshine away, shine away
