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