There's a dark and a trouble side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also have in view
So keep on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help you everyday
It will brighten all the way
If you'll keep on the sunny side of life
Oh the storm in its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that I cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will in time pass away
And the sun again will shine bright and clear
So keep on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help you everyday
It will brighten all the way
If you'll keep on the sunny side of life
[guitar - steel]
Let us greet with a song of hope each day
Though the moments be cloudy or fair
Let us trust that our Saviour
Always will keep us everyone in his care
So keep on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help you everyday
It will brighten all the way
If you'll keep on the sunny side of life
[guitar]
