  			           Am                Am  
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine 

            Dm                   Am 
You make me happy when skies are grey 

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

             F       E          Am 
Please don't take my sunshine away 


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 lay sleepin' 
I dreamed, I held you by my side 
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken 
And I hung my head and I cry 

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, you really loved me 
And no one else could come between 
But now you've left me and you love another 
And 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 

I'll always love you and make you happy 
If you will only say the same 
But if you leave me to love another 
But you'll regret it all some day 

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 
Please don't take my sunshine away
