The song begins with the line, "You were my sunshine, my only sunshine," which highlights the significance and importance of the person being referred to. The sun is often associated with warmth, joy, and life-giving energy, so the metaphor implies that this individual brought happiness and light into the narrator's life.
[Verse 1] The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and cried [Chorus] You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You
Early examples of 'nicked,' 'you're nicked,' and 'sunshine, you're nicked'. The 1806 example of "nicked" that Partridge cites is actually from 1805—from " A Dialogue Between Captain Bull and His Ship's Crew ," in The Spirit of the Public Journals for 1805 (1806). Here is a fuller version of that excerpt:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamt I held you in my arms. 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 grey You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you Please don’t take my sunshine away…” Lovely, isn’t it? We have all sung those words aloud to ourselves, a loved one or a special friend. It’s almost a rite of passage for parents and grandparents!
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know this life is crazy sometimes Just 'cause you're guided by the light don't mean you'll make it every time So why don't we try to hold our heads up high? We could find a joy HOXtt.
