You Are My Sunshine (sad version - acoustic)

in #music8 years ago (edited)

If you've ever read the lyrics to this sunshine song, it's not meant to be a happy song at ALL. It's about betrayal, loss, and loneliness. I adjusted the lyrics a little bit more in my own way just to kinda drive that point home.

Sidneote.. it's not the most spectacular video ever made, or like probably that you will even see in the next 5 mintues. BUT.. I edited it myself using my own photography and videography.. and when the leaf flies by at 1:05 to 1:06.. that little leaf flies across the screen from left to right, I just want to say to you that it took me forever to get that worked out perfectly in time with the music when I was editing the video. I LOVE that moment. PROUD. It's the little things. ♥ I hope I haven't ruined the song for anyone. You can just sing the first verse and pretty much still convince yourself that it's a happy song. :) (This is an old video I made back in 2009 or 2010 maybe. )

Cheers!

Lyrics: (I changed a bit from the traditional ones to sing my own way.. it's more like the Johnny Cash version)

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I loved you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed you held me in your arms,
but when I woke dear, I was mistaken
and I hung my head down and cried

Babe, you told me you really loved me
and no one else could come between
but now you've left me to love another
and you've broken all of my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You made me happy when skies were gray
You'll never know dear how much I loved you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Why'd you take my sunshine away?

p.s. This was a dTube video but it didn't work. So now I'm editing all the dTube stuff out of this post and sharing it as a YouTube video because I am just that darn crafty.
