You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy

When skies are grey
And you, you'll never know dear
How much I love you, I do it's true

So please Lord don't take my sunshine away
My sunshine away


But if lord you say
Then you take the sun away
And you make it fall, cuz if I can't have it

I don't want it to shine at all
If I can see it, up in the sky
Knowing it's not mine

Oh it will make me cry
The other night dear
While I was sleeping

I was dreaming
I dreamt I held you
In my arms, in my arms

When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
I was mistaken, I was mistaken

And I held my head in my hands
And I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried


Cuz if Lord you say
You take the sun away
And you make it fall

Cuz if I can't have it
I don't wan't it to shine at all
Cuz if I can see it

Up in the sky
Knowing it's not my mine
Oh it will make me cry


You were our sunshine
Our only sunshine

You made us happy
When skies were grey
And you, you'll never know dear

How much we loved you
We did it's true
But then the good Lord

Had to take, our sunshine away
Our sunshine away
That's why we've got to say goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
