Keep on the Sunny Side lyrics

There's a dark and a troubled side of life

There's a bright and a sunny side too

Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife

The sunny side we also may view

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and it's fury broke today

Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear

The clouds and storms will, in time, pass away

The sun again will shine bright and clear.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

Let us greet with the song of hope each day

Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair

And let us trust in our Saviour away

Who keepeth everyone in His care

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
