you are my moonshine 

my only moonshine 

you make me happy 

when my world is dark

you'll never know dear

how much i adore you 

please, don't take my moonshine away

 

the other night dear

while i lay sleeping

i deamt i held you in my arms 

when i awoke dear 

i was mistaken

so i held my head and cried

 

you are my moonshine 

my only moonshine 

you make me happy 

when my world is dark 

you'll never know dear 

how much i adore you 

please, don't take my moonshine away

 

you are my moonshine 

my only moonshine 

you make me happy 

when my world is dark

you'll never know dear

how much i adore you 

please, don't take my moonshine away 

 

please, don't take my moonshine away

please, don't take my moonshine away

The author's comments:

I was always seeing things dealing with the sun and moon. But one thing i seen went something along the lines of, "it's always the sun, by why not the moon." and it made me want to do this. Because growing up, my grandma would always sing this to my sister and I. Then, I always end up listing to different versions of you are my sunshine.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.

I love this version...It is really beautiful...The moon always has its way to shine more uniquely than the sun, just like you...★★★
