[Verse]
The other night
As I lay sleeping, yeah yeah
I dreamed I held you
Held you in my arms
But when I woke up this morning
Found out I was mistaken
Do you know that I hung my
Hung my head and I, yes baby I cried
[Chorus]
You are my sunshine
(You are my sunshine)
Oh, my only sunshine
(My only sunshine)
I believe you make me happy
(You make me happy)
When my skies are gray
(When skies are gray)
Sugar, you'll never know
(You'll never know, dear)
Just how much I love you
(How much I love you)
And I don't want you to take
(Don't take my sunshine)
My sunshine away
(Shine away)
[Saxophone solo]
[Outro Chorus]
I wanna say right here
That you're my sunshine
(You are my sunshine)
Yeah, my only sunshine
(My only sunshine)
I said you make me happy
(You make me happy)
When skies are gray
(When skies are gray)
Sugar, you'll never know
(You'll never know, dear)
Just how much I love you
(How much I love you)
I don't want you to take
(Don't take my sunshine)
I don't want you to take
(Don't take my sunshine)
No, no, I love her
(Don't take my sunshine)
I don't want you to take
(Don't take my sunshine)
Take my sunshine away
(Shine away)
No, not this morning, no
