You are my Sunshine - Kevin Devine
[Verse]
A
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
D A
I dreamed I held you in my arms
D A
But when I awoke dear, I was mistaken
E A
And I hung my head and cried
A
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
D A
You make me happy when skies are gray
D A
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
E A
Please don't take my sunshine away
A
I'll always love you and make you happy
D A
If you could only say the same
D A
But if you leave me, to love another
E A
Well you'll regret it all someday
[Chorus:]
A
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
D A
You make me happy when skies are gray
D A
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
E A
Please don't take my sunshine away

A
You told me once dear, that you really loved me
D A
And no one else could come between
D A
Well now you've left me, and love another
E A
You have shattered all my dreams
[Chorus:]
A
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
D A
You make me happy when skies are gray
D A
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
E A
Please don't take my sunshine away
E A
Please don't take my sunshine away

Probably seems a little strange to be saying this years later, but I used this to arrange a marching band version of this song when I proposed to my girlfriend a couple weeks ago. For the past 2 of our 4 years together, we have had a long distance relationship, and whenever she would get discouraged, I would always call her and leave this song as a voicemail (just the first verse and chorus). So during Miami University's homecoming parade a couple weeks ago, the band played my arrangement when I proposed and she said yes. Hard to believe that probably wouldn't have happened like that if you hadn't made this chart. Just thought you should know. :)
