Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

You Are My Sunshine

The other night

As I lay sleeping

Whoah, 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

Whoah you are my sunshine

(you are my sunshine)

Ohh, my only sunshine

(my only sunshine)

Well, little girl you make me happy sometimes

(you make me happy)

When my skies are grey

(when skies are grey)

Umm, 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)

[Instrumental Interlude]

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

Whoah you are my sunshine

(you are my sunshine)

Ohh, my only sunshine

(my only sunshine)

Ohh, you make me happy sometimes

(you make me happy)

When my skies are grey

(when skies are grey)

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)

Umm-hmm, if you need me

(don't take my sunshine)

Uh-huh if you want me

(don't take my sunshine)

Waaaahh! Listen

(don't take my sunshine)

(don't take my sunshine)

I don't want you to take

(don't take my sunshine)

Waaaahh! Listen

(don't take my sunshine)

(don't take my sunshine)

I don't want you to take

(don't take my sunshine)

Whoah, my sunshine away

(shine away)
