1. The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, 
                         D                      A 
    I dreamed I held you in my arms, 
                    D                              A 
    when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken, 
                               E                A 
    so I bowed my head and I cried. 
 
                     A 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, 
                         D                                 A 
you make me happy when skies are gray. 
                       D                                  A 
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you, 
                                   E                 A 
please don't take my sunshine away. 
 
                       A 
2. I've always loved you and made you happy, 
                         D                                A 
    and nothing else could come between, 
                              D                        A 
    but now you've left me to love another, 
                                    E               A 
    you have shattered all of my dreams. 
 
                     A 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, 
                         D                                 A 
you make me happy when skies are gray. 
                       D                                  A 
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you, 
                                   E                 A 
please don't take my sunshine away.
