Where You Are
Radio and Weasel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The other night 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'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 have another
You'll regret it all someday

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

You told me once dear
You really loved me
and no one else could come between
but now you've left me and I've got nothing
You have tattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know just how much I love you
I do

Please don't take my sunshine away [Chorus: x 4]




Please please don't take my sunshine away sunshine away from me {Chorus: x 3]
Please please don't take my sunshine away from me

The other night dear
As I laid down to sleep last night


As I lay sleeping
While I was asleep


I dreamed I held you in my arms
I dreamt of holding you close to me as if we were together


When I awoke dear
When I woke up from the dream


I was mistaken
I realized that it was just a dream and you were not really with me


and I hung my head and cried
I felt sad and disappointed and so I cried


You are my sunshine
You brighten up my day, you make me happy


My only sunshine
You are the only one who can make me feel this way


When skies are grey
When everything seems dull and depressing


You'll never know dear
I cannot express enough how much I feel for you


How much I love you
How deeply I care for you, how important you are to me


Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take away the happiness you bring me, don't leave me alone


I'll always love you
I will always have the same feelings for you


and make you happy
I will do everything I can to make you happy


If you will only say the same
If only you feel the same way towards me


but if you leave me
But if you choose to leave me


To have another
To be with someone else


You'll regret it all someday
You will feel sorry one day for leaving me and realizing what you have lost


You told me once dear
You promised me


You really loved me
That you truly cared for me


and no one else could come between
That nothing and no one could ever change that


but now you've left me and I've got nothing
But now you have broken your promise and I feel like I have nothing left


You have tattered all my dreams
You have destroyed all my hopes and dreams for the future


You'll never know just how much I love you
It's impossible for me to express the depth of my love for you


Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't leave me, don't take away the happiness you bring me


Please please don't take my sunshine away sunshine away from me
Please, I beg you, don't take away the happiness you bring me


{Chorus: x 3]
Repetition of the chorus
