Why (12-02-53) - Mary Lou Williams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

Just so you know dear, you’re all I hold dear

And with you I am never afraid

If i was a tree I would grow

You would be my warmth in the snow

You could be my light in the dark belows

You would be the strength to face my foes

You would be the wings for my flight

I wouldn’t be afraid at any height

You’ll be in my dreams when i sleep tonight

Oh how you understand my plight

Oh you help me see yeah you set me free

Oh you help me be the person that i should be

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

Just so you know dear, your all I hold dear

And with you I am never afraid

Together we can face our dying years

Together you and I could face our fears

And when our time has come

We’ll close our eyes

Because I know I’ll meet you in paradise

Oh you help me see yeah you set me free

Oh you help me be the person that I should be

Oh you help me see yeah you set me free

Oh you help me be the person that I should be

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

Just so you know dear, your all I hold dear

And with you I am never afraid
