You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
you make me happy, when skies are grey.
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 dreamt I held you in my arms
when I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I hung, my head, and cried.
_
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
I wish the words would come to me
but every time dear, I see this mountain,
I can't help, but turn and run away.
_
As I was writhing, in deepest darkness,
When my thoughts did not make sense
I looked and saw you, upon a photo
in my head, and then, I smiled.
_
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
I wish I had the strength to fight
This demon off dear, but I am frightened
You have a face, that looks, like mine.
_
When I am struggling, in fog of nonsense,
And I am forced to make a play
I find I'm lost dear, and then ashamed dear
I must turn, my head, away.
_
When I am thinking, in lonely moments,
and you creep into my thoughts,
You try to hold me and I attack you,
you are a snake and we both know.
_
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
you make me happy, when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away.
