the other day, dear,
the tears came from
your sunshine.

for as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed of us dancing melodies
and you tenderly gazing across my eyes.

but when I awoke dear, I was mistaken.
yet I had faith,
so I prayed
you not stay
from my side.

I'll always love you
and make you happy
if only that you would do the same.
I hope that we not regret it all
some day.

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.
