Lyrics:

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 think I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
Then I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine (sing it pretty!)
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.

I'll always love you and make you happy (hoop!)
If you would only say the same,
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all someday.

You are my sunshine (alright!)
My only sunshine (sing it out!)
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.

You told me once dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you left me and loved another
You have shattered all my dreams.
(Oh, sing it children!)

You are my sunshine (sing it pretty!)
My only sunshine (alright!)
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 (alright!)

Please, don't take my sunshine away (please, please!)
Please, don't take my sunshine away
(I wanna hear you one more time!) fade out...
