Cash, Johnny - You Are My Sunshine Lyrics






The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt 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 grey
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 grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Cash, Johnny You Are My Sunshine Comments
  1. S.... D....

    This song give me depression

  2. x.... J....

    First song I listened to in 2020. I didn’t think I’d make it this far and I’m proud of myself. I wish everyone a good year and for all your loved ones who are no longer here a restful peace.

  3. S.... K....

    I had an ugly breakup but not a day goes by where I don’t think of that person and feel so hurt about what she did yet still want nothing but her. Then this song played and makes the wound feel fresh.

  4. J.... H....

    My great grandmother passed away this morning I used play this to her

  5. S.... W....

    Back when people loved others more than themselves. I really miss pure simple music and lyrics about loving relationships even if it’s a heart breaker.

  6. �.... ....

    I love you, N.
    You are my sunshine.

  7. H.... R....

    God bless

  8. H.... R....

    I’m sorry for you’re losses it makes me cry when I see them my dad sings to me too

  9. m.... a....

    Who came from Annebelle:Creation to here 😲

  10. K.... C....

    My Grandfather died two days ago. He and Jonny Cash were good friends. I listen to this song and miss my grandpa even more.

  11. S.... O....

    My name is Sal and my boyfriend always sings this to me whenever I'm feeling down. Instead of saying "you are my sunshine," he always sings "you are my Salshine." I swear to god, that dude can make my tears of sadness and anxiety turn into tears of love and happiness at the speed of sound. I love him to bits 💖 I'm actually tearing up right now thinking about him and this song

  12. M.... E....

    I sang this one verse to my sons when they were young! I lost my son Aidan in 2016! How I miss you Aidan you are always in my heart!!!

  13. c.... g....

    I sing this to my little cow🥺🥺❤

  14. A.... L....

    I love you, Daniel. I know things are going horrible between us but I know that one day everything will workout again and you will be singing this song to me.


    Forever yours, poop head <3

  15. W.... 6....

    My mom used to sing this to me when it was time for bed...

  16. s.... t....

    I love my girlfriend

  17. B.... S....

    Dear baby, I miss you. You were such an amazing dog and I’m so sorry for all the times I yelled at you for barking too loudly, or got mad at you when you wouldn’t come inside quick enough. I should have never been mean to you and I hope God tells you that I’m sorry. I love and miss you so much.

    Fly high, Blacky

  18. B.... B....

    my mom has the lyrics to this in a notebook. like wat?

  19. M.... R....

    I sing this to my dog and whenever I hear it I burst into tears because I love her so much she’s gotten me through my high school years. She saved my life. When I was little all I ever did was beg for a dog and now that I got her I can’t bear the thought of her not being here. I moved out and I couldn’t take her with me and so she lives there still with my parents and brothers and I miss her every day. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I don’t want to miss another moment with her because she’s 12 years old and I am so scared she will leave me without saying goodbye. God I love my dog so much what am I going to do

  20. H.... 6....

    Whos lullaby was this?.

  21. S.... A....

    My daughter's song. I play this everyday in sorrow. Thank you

  22. s.... t....

    The lyrics are so wrong

  23. G.... ....

    Lost my little brother to Heroin and Fentanyl toxicity on July 2nd of 2018 at the sad young age of 20. He was found overdosed in a field on a very hot summer day. This song is kind of like my morbid goodbye to him as well as a bittersweet memory I still share with him. We were both raised by our grandparents and our grandmother would sing this to us everyday. Miss him very much. Was inspired to share my story by reading all of yours. The sun always shines again in the morning , but here’s to the ones that won’t be here to see it with us.

  24. W.... F....

    I was the most selfish person and now I’ve lost my soulmate. My sunshine. I’m sorry Charlotte :(

  25. E.... H....

    Rest In Peace My Beautiful Baby Boy Eli, Daddy Loves You. 2/8/19-11/21/19 You Were My SunShine Everyday

  26. A.... B....

    I am truly sorry to everyone who has lost a loved one. RIP 🙏🏻❤️

  27. M.... d....

    This song reminds me to my grandmother, she died a month ago. This makes beautiful memories come op to me.






    +rest is peace: Conny de Gooijer/de Munt+

  28. A.... P....

    can't listen to this song without crying....just can't

  29. R.... ....

    The lyrics in the description are so wrong

  30. R.... ....

    I wish i had someone to sing that for me,mom, friend, partner...♥️♥️♥️
    Hope I can sing it for my kids maybe or maybe not...it's so beautiful & soothing song.♥️♥️♥️

  31. m.... ....

    Always makes me think of my wife and my three daughters.

  32. F.... ....

    My younger sister died when she was born. I never got to see her in the hospital, I was asleep. She would be 8 years old now. This song reminds me of her so much. I miss you, Jocelyne.

  33. S.... M....

    It is extremely weird to me that this is a copyrighted song. That would be like copyrighting The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Happy Birthday to You, or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
    The chorus is a classic children's melody at this point, and belongs in the public domain.

  34. A.... b....

    Esa suena al inicio de un vídeo de Katy Perry ❤❤❤

  35. L.... M....

    💌💝🌻🌈

  36. L.... C....

    And now you've left me to love another. You have shattered all of my dreams 🖤💔

  37. E.... a....

  38. M.... K....

    SENİ SEVİYORUM ESMA <3

    M.... K....

    ı love u dicektin sanırım

  39. T.... R....

    My grandma used to sing me this song before bed every night. The night after she passed away I had a dream about her singing it to me one last time.

  40. S.... J....

    love this song and love johnny cash but idk about mixing them....

  41. O.... ....

    Rest in Peace Leo. My beautiful cat. Thankyou for always making me smile. I will never forget you, You will always be in my heart ❤️😢

  42. C.... R....

    even as a 12 year old i love this song

  43. �.... P....

    I died today. It's so sad because i remember how life was fun.

    �.... P....

    @Jill Dizzyblonde thanks im ded

    �.... P....

    @Jill Dizzyblonde Peep is ded too and post music. We are gods

  44. B.... B....

    My grandpa used to play this on his guitar as my grandma sang it to get us kids to fall asleep and it worked every time.

  45. C.... ....

    my grandma use to sing this shit too me all the time. i miss her so much man. she's was a sweetheart. dirt poor, but a heart of gold.

  46. c.... g....

    I have not cried in over a year. Thank you I really needed this. Thank you.

  47. R.... G....

    It makes me sad because it makes me think about all the people i miss.

  48. k.... ....

    that's the best love song ever.

  49. H.... L....

    Oh I used to listen to this song when I was pregnant as I accidentally stumbled upon this song but I was not lucky enough to carry my baby till term, I lost my baby . This song remind me of those days when I was pregnant,the days i cherished.

  50. D.... C....

    Gosto tanto dessa música 😻

    D.... C....

    TAMBÉM 🥰, conheçi por um filme que acabei de ver

  51. J.... a....

    Like how they removed the colour to take the sunshine away halfway through the song

  52. T.... S....

    I sang this to my long long time boyfriend in bed as I rubbed his back after he said he wasn’t sure if he still loved me that morning. He crumbled and cried in my arms and apologized

  53. k.... F....

    My mom would sing me “those far away places” when she was not divorced to my father I would wake up in the morning and she would not be there
    Because I would remember that she would be living in her own house and every time when I hear “those far away places“ I cry because my mom sang that song to me every night and morning 😭

  54. k.... ....

    My sunshine is a girl i call sanya currently she lives far away but she helped me through rough times, one day i will bring her to America so she can be my sunshine forever

    A.... R....

    you will come back to this song some day with a sad story. but that's okay. that's life. enjoy what you have my dear and don't fear the day you will lose it. live as if every day is your last.

    A.... R....

    @dr liz Unspoken Thing kid💀

  59. j.... k....

    Lovethe song and awesome job putting tbe lyrics in the description but... Lol they are wrong

    He says

    ive always loved you and made you happy
    And nothing else could come between.
    But now youve left me to love another
    You have shattered all of my dreams.
    I think that you got lyrics from a different version because i remember jearing tje 3rd verse but its not in this song and the 2nd verses lyrics are changed a little bit.

    j.... k....

    Actually youve got the lyrics from norman blakes version. It was alright i like how the tree changes.

  60. T.... ....

    I would sing this song to my dog Max. He died on November 14, 2015. He was such a good boy. I miss him. I'll be singing this to my baby once he or she is born. <3

  61. S.... ....

    My grandma sung this to me when i went to bed when i was young (i lived there back then) She passed away yesterday. She was the best grandma you could ever wish for. She told funny stories from when she was young and we could talk for hours and hours. We could laugh about other people doing dumb things. She always made scrambled eggs and milkshakes for me. We could be extremely mad at eachother, But in the end, we both knew we loved eachother. RIP Granny 1951-2019. You will be missed.

  62. R.... C....

    My great grandmother sang this to me when i was little ..i miss her so much

  63. B.... C....

    Mommy misses you Tucker

  64. T.... N....

    I love this song

    Rest in Paradise mommy

  65. s.... U....

    RIP Dad you will always be my sunshine 💚

  66. E.... G....

    My girlfriend just broke up with me I think I found the perfect song to shoot myself in the head with

  67. N.... D....

    Perfect 👌

  68. L.... S....

    Who knew a song could make you cry uncontrollably. My mom and nana both love this song and would sing it to me when i was little. Theyre my sunshine and my only sunshine, blessed to still have both of them with me :’( love and condolences to everyone who has lost a family member or anyone who they connect to this song.

  69. C.... 2....

    My mom used to sing this to me when I was a little baby

  70. Y.... K....

    this in annabelle creation

  71. T.... E....

    It's much heavier when you think of this song as a small piece to millions who lose someone every day, and having been losing for as long as humanity has been on this planet. Life is loss.

  72. Y.... K....

    I would state my connection with this song but I feel it's the same as everyone else in the comments. Let's just say I'm sad every time I hear this song now.

  73. f.... n....

    My grandma used to always sing me this song. I went to her house a lot because my parents were working and I really hated preschool, but she still let me come over. She died when I was 10 so now I have to go to my cousins. Like 2 months before she died she asked if I wanted to come to her house every morning but I said no and now I really wish I didn't.

  74. M.... B....

    One of my dad's favorite songs. He used to play it on his harmonica all the time when I was a kid. When he passed in 2002 we all stood and sung this song in his memory in the church at his wake. I still shed a tear every time I hear this song thinking of my dear father. Merry Christmas B, love you!

  75. K.... F....

    who still hearing 2019 dec 6 2019 i think about my mom when this song plays :(

  76. R.... ....

    Hope you always carry his/your parents/friends memory with you. Never forget them♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

  77. L.... M....

    I love you mom!!!

  78. J.... R....

    As a Southerner from Texas I know now the pain of this song and I play it on my old 5 string banjo and though I am bitter sweet in my feelings it helps me keep focus on loving others and avoid pride and anger it is the devil friends. Love is the higher law as John sang.

  79. G.... ....

    Making sad days a bit better....

  80. K.... S....

    Very good song.

  81. C.... ....

    This song literally saved my relationship....

  82. R.... B....

    What key is this in?

  83. R.... H....

    I never met my grandma, but my mom says my grandma sang this to my brother when he was in the hospital being born (if i remember correct) She passed away before i met her. As did my grandfather. Wonder what grandparents are like.

  84. Z.... ....

    Got cheated on by my ex-bf (my first ever relationship too) and the phrase "you have shattered all of my dreams" wrecks me :')

  85. E.... P....

    My best friend used to sing this to me. She took her own life almost two years ago. Can’t help but listen to this song and think of her. Hope to see her later down the road. Miss her everyday.

  86. G.... w....

    God bless you all

  87. H.... ....

    This is not the Original.

  89. T.... D....

    My grandma sang this to me every night before bed, it takes me back to simpler times. I ended up moving in with my mom in my later teens because she was an addict before and Wasn’t able to see me at all and I wanted to make up the time that I missed with her but I evidently left my grandma I still stay there half the time but now now she has 4th stage cancer and is currently in the hospital. I’m not even able to speak to her, I’d give anything to hear her voice right now.

    T.... D....

    She knows you`re there for her

  90. b.... ....

    My grandma used to sing this every morning when I woke now I sing it to my daughter who is named after my grandma

  91. J.... A....

  92. c.... ....

    one tree hill 💚

  93. S.... O....

  94. R.... W....

    my grandma used to sing this song to me on a swing when i was little and ever since she passed nothing has been the same, this song always makes me cry

  95. d.... ....

    I love it

  96. x.... U....

    my mom and dad used to always sing that, and now they’re getting divorced and it makes me too sad to think about it, i know all the lyrics to this song and i listen to it when i’m sad
