You Are My Sunshine

A traditional folk song popularized by Johnny Cash, ideal for simple group sing-alongs.

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

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

Chorus

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 to love another
You’ll regret it all someday

Chorus

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
