Over On The Sunny Side 1934

Which side of life's great street
do you live on?
One side is shadows,
one side is sun,
If you are on the side
that is gloomy
why not move today,
just across the way.

Just come over on the sunny side
you'll be welcome on the sunny side,
ev'ry gentleman and lady
if you're living where it's shady
come over on the sunny side.
You'll be happy on the sunny side,
maybe find that dreams you've been denied,
if the blues have got you ill at ease
you still have possibilities,
over on the sunny side.
Folks who look at life behind a shutter
miss this funny, sunny world of ours,
Looking down, they only see the gutter
if you raise your eyes
you will see the skies
if you're one of those across the way,
and you find that you're not satisfied
come and see the blue above again,
live and laugh, and love again,
over on the sunny side.

Just come over on the sunny side
you'll be welcome on the sunny side,
ev'ry gentleman and lady
if you're living where it's shady
come over on the sunny side.
You'll be happy on the sunny side,
maybe find that dreams you've been denied,
if the blues have got you ill at ease
you still have possibilities,
over on the sunny side.
Folks who look at life behind a shutter
miss this funny, sunny world of ours,
Looking down, they only see the gutter
if you raise your eyes
you will see the skies
if you're one of those across the way,
and you find that you're not satisfied
come and see the blue above again,
live and laugh, and love again,
over on the sunny side.

Gloom disappears with
sun shine and laughter,
skies that were grey
soon turn into blue,
Life was not made
for sorrow or sadness
chase dull care away
let's be glad today.

Just come over on the sunny side
you'll be welcome on the sunny side,
ev'ry gentleman and lady
if you're living where it's shady
come over on the sunny side.
You'll be happy on the sunny side,
maybe find that dreams you've been denied,
if the blues have got you ill at ease
you still have possibilities,
over on the sunny side.
