Lyrics:
The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
But when I woke dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine
My only 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,
That you loved me
That nothing else
Could come between
But now you left me for another
And you shattered
All of my dreams
I’ll always love you
And make you happy
If you lonely say the same
But if you leave me for another
You’ll regret it all someday
