[SOLO]

[Verse 1]

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I woke, dear, I was mistaken

So I bowed my head and I cried.



[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



[SOLO]



[Verse 2]
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 are my sunshine...



[SOLO]



[Verse 3]
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.

But now you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:



[Chorus]
You are my sunshine...



[SOLO + modulation]



[Verse 4]

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, I'll take all the blame.



[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


Please don't take my sunshine away
