G G7
The other night dear as I laid sleeping
C G
I dreamed I held you in my arms
C G
But when I woke dear I was mistaken
G D G
And I hung my head and I cried
G G7
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
C G
You make me happy when skies are gray
C G
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
G D G
Please don't take my sunshine away
G
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 some day
(chorus)
You told me once dear you really loved me
And no one could come between
But now you've left me to love another
You have shattered all of my dreams
(chorus)
In all my dreams 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)
