Lyrics

Beyond the 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 I 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
I'll always love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me and love another You'll regret it all someday You told me once dear you really loved me And no one could come between But now you've left me to love another You have shattered all my dreams In all my dreams dear you seem to leave me When I awake my poor heart pains So won't you come back and make me happy I'll forgive dear I'll take all the blame
