“A lot of us grew up singing the chorus as kids but never knowing what extreme sorrow the song was about.” (from Kerrang! Issue 1657.)
[Verse 1]
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I bowed my head and I cried
[Chorus]
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 (don't take my sunshine away)
[Verse 2]
I've always loved you and made you happy
And you promised to do the same
Never leave me to love another
You'll regret it all someday
[Verse 3]
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And nothing else could come between
But now you've left me to love another
You have shattered all of my dreams
[Chorus]
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
