🎤 Lyrics:
One, two, three

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I bowed my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You′ll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away


I′ve always loved you and made you happy
And nothing else could come between
But now you've left me, to love another
You have shattered all of my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don′t take my sunshine away

I always hated it (it was a nice short version)
You wanna re-, pick it up? (Nah, it′s alright) it's good?
We got a short version (mind you, there′s another verse on that tape)
Well, Cleveland, let's uh...
Well, if I feel like my song is sung, it don′t care
I don't care if it′s short
And I feel like my song is sung
It's pleasant, two minutes, I've recorded songs, two minutes
(They were huge hits) have you got the time on that?
