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
'Cause if I can't have it
I don't want it to shine at all
'Cause if I can see it up in the sky
Knowing it's not mine, 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
But if Lord you say
Then you take the sun away
And you make it fall
'Cause if I can't have it
I don't want it to shine at all
'Cause if I can see it up in the sky
Knowing it's not mine, 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
