(Alvin Pleasant Carter, Gary Garett)



There's a dark and a troubled side of life

There's a bright and a sunnyside, too.

Though we meet with the darkness and strife

The sunnyside we also may view.



Keep on the sunnyside

Always on the sunnyside

Keep on the sunnyside of life.

It will help us every day

It will brighten all our way

If we keep on the sunnyside of life.



The storm and its fury rage today

Crushing hope that we cherished so dear.

Storm and clouds will in time pass away,

The sun again will shine bright and clear.



Keep on the sunnyside

Always on the sunnyside

Keep on the sunnyside of life.

It will help us every day

It will brighten all our way

If we keep on the sunnyside of life.



May the street with the song of hope be paved

Though the moment be cloudy or fair.

May we trust in the good Lord always

To keep us everyone in his care.



Keep on the sunnyside

Always on the sunnyside

Keep on the sunnyside of life.

It will help us every day

It will brighten all our way

If we keep on the sunnyside of life.



Keep on the sunnyside

Always on the sunnyside

Keep on the sunnyside of life.

It will help us every day

It will brighten all our way

If we keep on ...
