You Are My Sunshine

Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell

1
The other night dear as I lay sleeping
4 1
I dreamed I held you in my arms
4 1
But when I woke dear I was mistaken
1 5 1
And I hung my head and I cried

Chorus:
1
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
4 1
You make me happy when skies are gray
4 1
You’ll never know dear how much I love you
1 5 1
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 and love another
You’ll regret it all someday
(Chorus)

You told me once dear you really loved me

And no one else could come between
But now you’ve left me to love another
You have shattered all my dreams
(Chorus)

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 happy
I’ll forgive dear I’ll take all the blame
(Chorus)
