You Are My Sunshine You Are My Sunshine You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear, I was mistaken, So I hung my head down and cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.
