You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
And you, you’ll never know dear
How much I love you, I do it’s true
So please Lord don’t take my sunshine away
My sunshine away

But if lord you say
Then you take the sun away
And you make it fall, cuz if I can’t have it
I don’t want it to shine at all
If I can see it, up in the sky
Knowing it’s not mine
Oh it will make me cry
The other night dear
While I was sleeping
I was dreaming
I dreamt I held you
In my arms, in my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
I was mistaken, I was mistaken
And I held my head in my hands
And I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried

Cuz if Lord you say
You take the sun away
And you make it fall
Cuz if I can’t have it
I don’t wan’t it to shine at all
Cuz if I can see it
Up in the sky
Knowing it’s not my mine
Oh it will make me cry

You were our sunshine
Our only sunshine
You made us happy
When skies were grey
And you, you’ll never know dear
How much we loved you
We did it’s true
But then the good Lord
Had to take, our sunshine away
Our sunshine away
That’s why we’ve got to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
