The Most Pathetic song ever written

There's a song I've been humming my whole life, and today I searched the internet to find out what the lyrics actually said. The song is called "You are my sunshine". Everybody hums that, right? Well, here are the lyrics:

Found at http://www.geocities.com/holidaysfun/sunshine.html

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
So please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear as I lay dreaming
I dreamt that you were by my side
Came disillusion when I awoke dear
You were gone and then 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
So please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once dear there'd be no other
That no one else could come between
But now you've left me to love another
You have broken all my dreams

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
So please don't take my sunshine away

Isn't that awful? The person is trying to make the person not leave them by saying how much they love them - very passive/aggressive. It's already too late - the person doesn't love them anymore, but the person still wants them to stay. Yuck.

But it's such a catchy tune. I can't help humming it still.
