You Are My Sunshine
Endearing Plea: Hold onto Love's Radiance
Lyrics
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You are the source of joy and happiness in my life
You make me happy when skies are gray
Your presence brings happiness even in difficult times
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
You may never fully understand how deeply I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Plea to not end the happiness and take away the source of joy
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
Recalling a dream of holding the loved one, a moment of happiness
I dreamed I held you in my arms
A dream of emotional closeness and intimacy
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
Reality check upon waking, realizing it was just a dream
And I hung my head and cried
Expressing disappointment and sadness
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
Reiteration of the loved one as the source of happiness
You make me happy when skies are gray
Highlighting the positive impact on mood during difficult times
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Reiterating the depth of love that may not be fully realized
Please don't take my sunshine away
Plea to maintain the relationship and not take away happiness
I'll always love you and make you happy
Promise of eternal love and commitment to bring happiness
If you will only say the same
Request for mutual love and commitment
But if you leave me to love another
Warning of potential regret if leaving for another love
You'll regret it all some day
Emphasizing the long-term consequences of leaving
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
Reaffirmation of the loved one as the source of joy
You make me happy when skies are gray
Emphasis on the positive impact during gloomy times
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Reiteration of the depth of love, possibly not fully recognized
Please don't take my sunshine away
Plea to avoid taking away the happiness in the relationship
You told me once dear, you really loved me
Recollection of past declarations of love
And no one else dear, could come between
Assertion of exclusivity in the past
But now you've left me and love another
Expressing the pain of being abandoned for another
You have shattered all my dreams
Describing the shattered dreams caused by the departure
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
Reiteration of the loved one as a source of joy
You make me happy when skies are gray
Emphasis on the positive influence during difficult times
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Reiteration of the depth of love, possibly not fully understood
Please don't take my sunshine away
Plea to preserve the happiness in the relationship
