Lyrics

Oh-haw-oh-oh-oh, they tell me that into each life Some rain has sure got to fall Oh-ooh, they tell me that everybody Has sure, has sure got to cry sometime And, oh, if some rain (some rain) if some rain Has got to fall (some rain) on everybody And I've had enough rain in my life And I'm so glad right now I got a little love around me To keep the rain off my head, yeah, yeah And I believe it's, I believe it's I believe it because (tell me why do you believe?) I believe because On the other night, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you, I held you in my arms, yeah But when I woke up and found out I was mistaken, yeah You know that I hang my head, and I cried (and I cried) Baby, baby, (baby) baby, you are my sunshine (baby) You sure make me happy, baby when the skies are grey And you'll never, never, never know how much I need you I don't want you to take my sunshine away (sunshine away) You told me once you did, that you really loved me And no one else could ever Could ever, could ever come between, yeah But now you're thinking about leaving me (leaving) For another, yeah (leaving) If you do you know you're gonna shatter Shatter every one of my dreams (one of my dreams) Because baby, baby, baby, baby you are my sunshine (baby) You sure make me good and happy when the skies are grey And you'll never, never, never know, how much I need you (how much I really need you) I don't want you to take my (no, baby don't you take my) Baby don't you take my (no, baby don't you take my) You promise me (no, baby don't you take my) That you'll never never never never, never leave me You promise me (sunshine, sure enough) That you'll never never never deceive me (sunshine, sure enough) Good God almighty (sure enough) don't let him, don't let him take it away Hey, baby
