You Are My Sunshine lyrics:
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
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
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
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
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:
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
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
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

[@Deb0424]

Am I the only one that wonders why she changed the tune of the ending of the song? It's a classic, no need to change it imho.

[@BitesizePiano]

What did I change with the melody? This isn’t specific to any version.

[@tren-d4116]

@@BitesizePiano the ending of the song sounds different than we know it. I was wondering the same, for me instead of playing D, E, D, F, B, D and C ( I think those are the notes you played) the version I know finishes with playing C, D, E, F, D, D, E, C
