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.

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


So let the sunshine in
Faces with a grin

Smilers never lose
And frowners never win


So let the sunshine in
Faces with a grin
Open up your heart

And let the sunshine in

My mommy told me something

That little girl should know
It's all about the devil
And I learn to hate him so

I know he'll be unhappy
'Cause I'm never with a frown
Maybe if we keep on smiling

He'll get tired of hanging around



So let the sunshine in
Faces with a grin
Smilers never lose

And frowners never win

So let the sunshine in

Faces with a grin
Open up your heart
And let the sunshine in


So let the sunshine in
Faces with a grin

Smilers never lose
And frowners never win


So let the sunshine in
Faces with a grin
Open up your heart

And let the sunshine in
