You are my Sunshine

Johnny Cash · original p.43

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 that third verse) *Laughter* It was a nice short version Do you wanna- uh, pick it up? I't's alright (It's good) (We got a short version) It might have that other verse on it in another take Well, I'll tell you what... Let's... uhm... Well, if I feel like my song's a song... *Laughter* It don't care... (There you go!) I don't care if it's short And I feel like my song's a song A pleasure! Two minutes... I've recorded songs two minutes (They were huge hits!) Have you got, uh, time on that?
