The other night dear, as I- lay-- sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my-- arms

But when I--- woke, dear, I was mis-tak---en

So I hung my-- head and I cried.

You are my sun---shine, my--- on-ly--- sunshine

You make me hap---py when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love- you

Please don't take my sunshine a----way

I'll always love- you and make you-- happy,

If you- will only say- the- same.

But if-- you leave me-- and love an-oth---er,

You'll regret- it all- some day:

You are-- my sun--shine, my--- on----ly sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray-

You'll never know dear, how- much I love- you

Please don't take my-- sunshine a----way

You told me once, dear, you really-- loved me

And no one else could come be---tween.

But now you've left me to love an-oth---er;

You have shattered all of my dreams:

You are my sun---shine, my--- on-ly--- sunshine

You make me hap---py when skies are gray

You'll never know dear, how much I love- you

Please don't take my sunshine a----way

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to--- leave me

When I--- awake my poor heart pains.

So won't you come back and make me hap---py

I'll forgive dear, I'll take all the blame.

You are-- my sun--shine, my--- on----ly sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray-

You'll never know dear, how- much I love- you

Please don't take my-- sunshine a----way
