The other night
As I lay sleeping, yeah
Oh, I dreamed I held you
Held you in my arms
But when I woke up, yeah
Found out I was mistaken
Oh, I hung my head
Hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
Oh, little girl, you make me happy, yeah
When the skies are grey
Oh, but you'll never know, dear
Just how much I love you
So please don't take
Don't take
My sunshine away, ah
You told me once, dear
That you really loved me
And that no one
Ah, could take my place
But now you've left me
And found another
And you've shattered
Shattered all my dreams
Yeah, you are my sunshine
My only sunshine
Ah, you make me happy, yeah
When my skies are grey
Oh, but you'll never know, dear
How much that I love you
So please don't take
Not if you need me
Not if you want me
Not if you need me, girl
Please don't take
Don't take my sunshine
Don't take my sunshine
Don't take my sunshine
Don't take my sunshine away
