 D          A                    D
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
             G               D
I dreamed I held you in my arms
             G                    D
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
       A                 D
And I hung my head and cried

[Chorus]
            A                 D
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
             G                    D
You make me happy when skies are grey
              G                          D
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
               A               D
Please don't take my sunshine away

[Vesre 2]
              A                      D
I'll always loved you and make you happy
              G           D
If you will only say the same
                 G                D
But if you leave me to love another
            A              D
You'll regret it all some day

[Chorus]
            A                     D
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
              G                   D
You make me happy when skies are grey
                    G                    D
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
               A                D
Please don't take my sunshine away

[Verse 3]
                   A                 D
You told me once dear, you really loved me
             G                D
That no one else could come between
                 G                D
But now you've left me and love another
            A               D
You have shattered all my dreams

[Chorus]
              A                  D
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
              G                   D
You make me happy when skies are grey
                G                    D
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
              A                D
Please don't take my sunshine away

[Verse 4]
            A                          D
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
         G                   D
When I awake my poor heart pains
              G                     D
So wont you come back and make me happy
          A                          D
I'll forgive you, I'll take all the blame

[Chorus]
             A                   D
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
             G                    D
You make me happy when skies are grey
                G                    D
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
              A                D
Please don't take my sunshine away
