Lyrics: Ray Charles. Ray Charles: Ultimate Hits Collection. You Are My Sunshine.

The other night as I lay sleeping, whoa, I dreamed I held you
Held you in my arms, well but when I woke up this morning
I found out I was mistaken, do you know that I hung my
I hung my head and cried?

Whoa, you are my sunshine, you are my sunshine
Oh, my only sunshine, my only sunshine, well little girl
You make me happy sometimes, you make me happy
When my skies are gray, when skies are gray

Um, you'll never never never know dear
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
How much I love you, whoa and I don't want you to take
Don't take my sunshine, my sunshine away, shine away

You told me once, dear that you really loved me
And no one else could ever come between, yeah
But now you left me and you love another, yeah
And you have shattered, oh yeah all of my dreams

Whoa, you are my sunshine, you are my sunshine
Oh, my only sunshine, my only sunshine
Oh, you make me happy sometimes, you make me happy
When my skies are gray, when skies are gray

Whoa, you'll never never never know dear
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
How much I love you, whoa and I don't want you to take
Don't take my sunshine, whoa, if you love me

Don't take my sunshine, um mm, if you need me
Don't take my sunshine, uh huh if you want me
Don't take my sunshine, wah listen
Don't take my sunshine, don't take my sunshine

I don't want you to take, don't take my sunshine
Wah listen, don't take my sunshine
Don't take my sunshine, I don't want you to take
Don't take my sunshine, whoa, my sunshine away, shine away
