 You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

Verse

Hold on, hold on to yourself

 For this is gonna hurt like hell

Hold on, hold on to yourself

 You know that only time will tell

What is it in me that refuses to believe

 This isn't easier than the real thing?

My love, you know that you're my best friend

You know I'd do anything for you

My love, let nothing come between us

 My love for you is strong and true

Prechorus

Am I in heaven here or am I

 At the crossroads I'm standing?

Chorus

 So now you're sleeping peaceful

 I lie awake and pray

 That you'll be strong tomorrow

 And you'll see another day

 And we will praise it

 And love the light that brings a smile

Across your face
