You Are My Sunshine

Written by: Jimmie Davis/Charles Mitchell Peaked Billboard position #1 in 1941 You are my sunshine, my only 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 away. The other night dear as I was sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only 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 away. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * You told me once dear That you really loved me And no one else could come between But now you've left me And you love another You have shattered all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only 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 away.
