(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 ...
