You Are My Sunshine

[Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell]



The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and 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

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day

    (Chorus)

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 my dreams

    (Chorus)
