You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray
              D#                    A#
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
                      F         A#
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I laid sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

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