lyrics

You Were My Sunshine

Not long ago it was the middle of Spring
But it was the coldest month that I had ever seen
I wish I had you then
to keep me warm
You were my sunshine
My only sunshine

You were young, yes, you were seventeen
I was a country man, you were a city queen
But when you first spoke
My worlds turned bright
You were my sunshine
My only sunshine

You were my sunshine to my silver moon
You were to first wave of a deeper truth
You were the ripcord to my parachute
You were my sunshine
My only sunshine

The life we made was of brick and tin
And you were laughed at by all your friends
They my have money
but we had wealth
and we had sunshine
You were my sunshine

You were my sunshine to my silver moon
You were to first wave of a deeper truth
You were the ripcord to my parachute
You were my sunshine
My only sunshine

The doctors bills were more than we could take
You swore it was something you could shake
I just need rest
An afghan or two
Maybe some sunshine
I just need sunshine

You were my sunshine to my silver moon
You were to first wave of a deeper truth
You were the ripcord to my parachute
You were my sunshine
My only sunshine
