You Are My Sunshine
Cherished Sunshine: Love's Resilience in Grey Skies
Lyrics
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You are the source of my happiness and joy
You make me happy when skies are grey
Your presence brings me joy even in difficult times
You'll never know dear how much I love you
You may never fully understand how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
I plea for you not to leave and take away my happiness
I'll always love you and make you happy
I will always love you and strive to make you happy
If you will only say the same
If you reciprocate the same love, it will bring happiness
But if you leave me for another
Warning about the consequences if you choose someone else
You'll regret it all some day
You will eventually regret leaving me for another
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
Reiteration of the importance of the person as sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
Your presence continues to bring joy in difficult times
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Expressing the depth of love that may remain unknown
So please don't take my sunshine away
A plea to not take away the source of happiness
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
Describing a dream of holding the person while sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
A dream where the person is physically embraced
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
A realization that the dream was not real upon waking
I was peeping through the bars
Feeling separated and confined, perhaps emotionally
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
Reiteration of the person as the source of sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
Emphasizing joy brought by the person in difficult times
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Underscoring the depth of love that remains a mystery
So please don't take my sunshine away
Requesting again not to take away the source of joy
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
Repeating the importance of the person as sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
Reiterating the joy brought by the person in difficult times
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Re-emphasizing the depth of the unspoken love
So please don't take my sunshine away
A final plea not to take away the happiness and joy
So please don't take my sunshine away
A final, earnest request not to lose the source of happiness
