This song is one of my earliest childhood memories. Sometimes I’d get nightmares and fantods in bed, and I would cry. My father would come and pick me up, rock me in his arms, and sing this song to me. You bet I remember the words:
“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.”
Performed here by James Swanson (I think he’s a cousin to our friends, Joshua and Jeremy Swanson). Very nice job, Jimmy.
Thank you for sharing this, Mr. Duigon! James and Jeremy worked together on this one.
Oh, that song brings back memories! I must’ve been only two or three years old when Daddy sang that to me.
Those are precious memories! 😊
And they get more precious as you get older.
You can’t sing this song without it making you feel better. Another one like it is “Happy Days Are Here Again.”
Nice job with the picken’
Oh, yes, I remember it. From memory the next part…The other night dear as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, when I a woke, I was mistaken, please don’t take my sunshine away…
Thank you, Mr. Duigon! 🤗
