You Are My Sunshine

Words and Music by Jimmy Davis and Charles Mitchell (1940)

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 dreamt I held you in my arms.

When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,

So I hung my head down 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.

This is the song Aunt Renee used to sing to me. Maybe because when she sang it I would stop complaining.
