Don't Take My Sunshine

You know it seem like to me that

Nowadays everybody's going around losing something

I told my love the other day, I said

"Honey, if I should lose you it'd be like losing the sun out of the sky"

Then I thought about it, I told again, I said

"Honey, please don't take my sunshine away"

But I have been noticing little things like

This right here

Yesterday my life, my life was bright and sunny

Today I feel like a bee that's lost all it's honey

Girl, it's written all over your face

Someone else has taken my place

Girl, if this is true, in my heart I'm begging you

Please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away

Lately you don't kiss me like you use to do

You shy away from my love, I've been watching you

Can we make a brand new start? Please say, yeah

And mend a broken heart, oh please, oh please

Please, don't you tear us apart

Please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away

Darling, darling, darling, darling

When did our love go wrong?

We been together so long, well

I can't stand the sorrow, I've tried to face tomorrow

Tell me where, tell me where

Did our love go wrong, go wrong

You got me holding, you got me uptight

Please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away

Oh please, don't you take my sunshine away
