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

Why (12-02-53)

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
