This is the song my mom always sang to me when my life was caving in on me as a child.
The night, dear, as I lay sleeping I I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and I cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me when are grey You'll know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my away I'll love you and make you happy If you will only say the same But if you me to love another You'll it all some day You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me when are grey You'll know, dear, how much I love you Please don't take my away You told me once, dear, you loved me And no one else come between But now you've left me and love another You have all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me when are grey You'll know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my away.
I have always believed that it was a love song not a nursery rhyme.
I have a battery operated clock, I never have set it, or knew that it even played music, all of a sudden one night at 6: 10 it started to play you are my sunshine in a digital tune, it plays everynight, there is no where on the clock to pick a song or any kind of an alarm sound.
This is an easy song to learn for young kids and sing along.
I sang it to my daddy westie dog as he valiantly fought until that horrid tainted food that was tearing up his insides.
