My only sunshine

The first verse is something like this:
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
So please, don't take my sunshine away

My great grandpa use to sing this to me every single day. The man had such a difficult life, and only had a couple months to live when I was born. My mother had to work so even though he was sick she had to leave me with him. He ended up living another 5 years until I was in first grade. Every day I saw him, and every day he would sing that song to me and take care of me. Even though I don't remember him at all, I remember the bond we had.
I absolutely love this lullaby. It means so much to me.

You Are My Sunshine
by: Tkay

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know Dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night Dear
While I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I woke Dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and I cried
1st verse: You are my sunshine
