                    A 
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping 
   D                      A 
I dreamed I held you in my arms  
 D                              A 
When I awoke, dear, I wasm is taken  
           E                A 
So I bowed my head and I cried 
     A 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine 
      D                                 A 
You make me happy when skies are gray 
       D                                  A 
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you 
          E                 A 
Please don't take my sunshine away 
   A 
I've always loved you and made you happy 
   D                                A 
And nothing else could come between 
   D                        A 
But now you've left me to Love another 
          E               A 
You have shat tered all of my dreams 
  A 
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine 
     D                                 A 
You make me happy when skies are gray 
      D                                  A 
You'll never know, dear, how much I Love you 
                E                 A 
Please don't take my sunshine away
