You make me haDppy when skies are gAray
You'll never kDnow dear, how much I loAve you
Please don't take my sunEshine awAay

You are my Sunshine - Kevin Devine

[Verse]

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping

D A

I dreamed I held you in my arms

D A

But when I awoke dear, I was mistaken

E A

And I hung my head and cried

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

I'll always love you and make you happy

D A

If you could only say the same

D A

But if you leave me, to love another

E A

Well you'll regret it all someday

[Chorus:]

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
