You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You&9ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don&9t take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You&9ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don&9t take my sunshine away.
I&9ll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You&9ll regret it all some day;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You&9ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don&9t take my sunshine away.
You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you&9ve left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You&9ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don&9t take my sunshine away.
Louisiana my Louisiana
the place where I was borne.
White fields of cotton
-- green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You&9ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don&9t take my sunshine away.
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You&9ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don&9t take my sunshine away.
