you_are_my_sunshineLyrics:
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!
The other night, Dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, Dear, I was mistaken,
And I held 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!
