Lyrics The Righteous Brothers

The Righteous Brothers

You Are My Sunshine

The other night, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you, held you in my arms

But when I woke up, yeah, found out I was mistaken

Ooh I hung my head, hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

Little girl you make me happy when the skies are grey

But you'll never know dear, just how much I love you

So please don't take, don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, that you really loved me

And that no one could take my pain

But now you've left me and love another

And you've shattered, shattered all my dreams

Yeah you are my sunshine, my only sunshine (oh my sunshine)

You make me happy, yeah (you make me happy) when my skies are grey

But you'll never know dear, how much that I love you

So please don't take (I would never) not if you need me (no, you know I need you now)

Not if you want me, (no, you know I want you now)

Not if you need me girl (no, you know I need you now)

Please don't take, (no, no, no) don't take my sunshine

Don't take my sunshine, (no, no, no, no) don't take my sunshine

Don't take my sunshine away
