No matter what kind of a day you have been through, this song seems to be able to soothe away the sorrow or worry. It was written in the 1940's and it was a singer called Jimmie Davis who first recorded it. I remember my mother singing it at different times in my childhood and as an adult. I used to sing it to my daughter when I rocked her in my arms as a small child. I have a beautiful memory of all three of us singing it together. Mommy had a beautiful voice as did Erin. We sang it in three part harmony and our voices blended in well with each other's. I think we sounded good and we had so much fun singing this one and many other songs together. Whenever I hear it now, it makes me smile and feel a pinch of loneliness for those days gone by.
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 dreamed 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
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
I'll always love you
and make you happy
If you will only
Stay the same
but if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all someday
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
You told me once dear
You really loved me
and no one else could come between
but now you've left me and Iove another
You have shattered all of my dreams
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
