英文歌词：

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my armsBut when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

And I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshineYou make me happy when skies are grayYou'llnever 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 sameBut if you leave me to love another

You'll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshineYou make me happy when skies are grayYou'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 betweenBut now you've left me and love another

You have shattered all of my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshineYou make me happy when skies are grayYou'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams, dear, youseem to leave me

When I awake my poor heart pains

So when you come back and make me happyI'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame

You are my sunshine, my only sunshineYou make me happy when skies are grayYou'll never know dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away
