Keep On The Sunny Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a dark and a troubled side of life
there's a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with darkness and strife
the sunny side we also may view
Chorus:
So keep on the sunny side,
always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
'cause it will help us every day
it will brighten up the way
if we keep on the sunny side of life
The storm and it's fury broke today
crushing homes that we've cherished so dear
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
the sun again will shine bright and clear
(chorus)
So let us greet, with a song of hope, each day
though the skies may be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in The Saviour away
to keep us, every one, in his care
(chorus)
So let us keep on the sunny side of life.
