There are days when I wake
And I've forgotten your sweet face
And the smile you used to make
When I'd walk in the room
How many nights have I laid
Just trying to recall the day
But it's like static in my brain
I know it's there
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
And I won't let you slip away
I think about years of me and you
And all the trouble we got to
But it's those little things you'd do
That would drive me wild
Adding one and then two
We weren't sure what we would do
But somehow we made it through
And they're all grown now
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
And I see you in their eyes
All the years we had together
All the times that I said forever
But forever wasn't mine to give
I'm sorry if that was selfish
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
I've been gone, on the road
To places far from home
Just felt right to play my songs
Don't know what else to do
It's a feeling I guess
But I think you'd want me to
Sing those words I wrote for you
Every chance I get
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
And I know I won't forget
