You Are My Sunshine
Morgane Stapleton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, while I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you here in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

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

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away





Please don't take my sunshine away

My Daddy always called me an text me nearly every morning... Goodmorning my Sunshine. So hearing this song for the first time yesterday, it brought me to my knees. 2 years an 2 months and 4 days since he gained his wings. An I'm still on the ocean of emotion. I forever will ride those waves. I miss him so very much 😭😭😭. This is such a beautiful cover.

If youd like to see the look of love on a person's face watch videos of Morgane and Chris singing. I think they sing beautifully together

Morgane is actually quite notable in her own right! Look her up — she has many accolades. And like you, I absolutely LOVE her voice. Her harmonies with Chris are like bread and butter!! 😩
