The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
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 and love another,
You´ll regret it all some day:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You´ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don´t take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you´ve left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You´ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don´t take my sunshine away

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 dear, I´ll take all the blame.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You´ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don´t take my sunshine away
