[Verse]
A
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
And I hung my head and I cried,
[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,
[Verse]
I'll always love you and make you happy,
            D            A
If you will only say the same,
           D                  A
But if you leave me to love another,
                   E        A
You will regret it all some day,
[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,
[Verse]
You told me once dear, you really loved me,
           D                 A
and no one else could come between,
               D                  A
but now you've left me and love another,
                   E      A
you have shattered all my dreams,
[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,
