I'll Always Love You (in My Own Crazy Way)

Johnny Cash · Other Songs - Johnny Cash

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 now 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
