Keep On The Sunny Side

Merle Haggard


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
