A Song A Song
You Are My Sunshine 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.
(chorus)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey You 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 on one else could come between
But now you’ve left me and loved another Yes, you’ve shattered all my dreams.
