You Are My Sunshine
Johnny and The Hurricanes Lyrics

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I had a dream that I was holding the one I love close while I was sound asleep

I dreamed I held you in my arms
My dream caused me to feel as though I was actually holding the person I adore

But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
I was jolted back to reality when I opened my eyes to find I was all alone

So I hung my head and I cried.
The realization of my solitude was too much for me to bear and I broke down in tears

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
My love is the sole source of light in my life, the one and only thing that brightens my days

You make me happy when skies are gray
My love brings happiness and joy even during difficult times

You'll never know dear, how much I love you
I love you deeply and intensely, beyond what words could ever express

Please don't take my sunshine away
I fear losing my love and being left in darkness once again

I'll always love you and make you happy,
I promise to always love and cherish you and do everything in my power to make you happy

If you will only say the same.
I hope you feel the same way and will also always love me

But if you leave me and love another,
If you choose to abandon me and direct your love towards someone else,

You'll regret it all some day:
You will eventually realize the mistake you made and live with the regret for it

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
You assured me that you truly loved me and me alone

And no one else could come between.
You claimed that no other person could come between us and interfere with our love

But now you've left me and love another;
However, you have left me for someone else after all

You have shattered all of my dreams:
Your actions have ruined all the hopes and dreams I had for our future together

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
Even in my dreams, I can't escape the pain of being abandoned by you

When I awake my poor heart pains.
Every time I wake up, I am reminded of the hurt and heartache I feel

So when you come back and make me happy
If you ever choose to return and make amends, bringing joy back to my life

I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
I will forgive you completely and will take responsibility for any role I played in our separation
