Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed i held you in my arms
When i awoke, dear, i was mistaken
So i hung my head and i cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much i miss you
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
[Chorus]
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:
[Chorus]

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
During the previous night, as I was sound asleep
I dreamed I held you in my arms
In my dream, I imagined holding you in a loving embrace
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
However, when I woke up, I realized that my dream was not real
So I hung my head and I cried
Thus, I felt disheartened and sorrowful about this realization
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You are the one who brings joy and radiance into my life, my one and only
You make me happy when skies are gray
Even in dreary times, your presence brings me immense happiness
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
I cannot express in words how much I yearn for your presence
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please do not take away the happiness and radiance that you bring into my life
I'll always love you and make you happy
My love for you will remain steadfast and I will continuously strive to bring you joy
If you will only say the same
As long as you share my love and commitment to our relationship
But if you leave me to love another
However, if you abandon our love to pursue someone else
You'll regret it all some day
You will eventually realize the mistake you have made and feel remorseful about it
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
I distinctly remember you confessing your deep love for me
And no one else could come between
You assured me that no one else could interfere with our affection for one another
But now you've left me and love another
Yet now you have left me for someone else entirely
You have shattered all my dreams
In doing so, you have completely broken the aspirations and hopes I have had for our relationship
