On the Sunny Side of the Street
Embracing Sunshine: A Journey from Shadows to Radiance with Earl Hines
Lyrics
Walked with no one and talked with no one
The speaker lived a solitary life, avoiding social interactions.
And I had nothing but shadows
The speaker's life was filled with emptiness and darkness.
Then one morning you passed
One morning, the speaker encountered someone special.
And I brightened at last
The speaker's mood improved significantly upon seeing this person.
Now I greet the day and complete the day
The speaker now starts each day positively, with a joyful heart.
With the sun in my heart
The speaker feels warmth and happiness within.
All my worry blew away
Worries and concerns disappeared from the speaker's mind.
When you taught me how to say
The person taught the speaker a positive way to express themselves.
Grab your coat and get your hat
Encouragement to prepare to go out and enjoy life.
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Leave behind worries and troubles before stepping out.
Just direct your feet
Guidance to head towards the bright and optimistic side of life.
To the sunny side of the street
A call to embrace positivity and optimism in life.
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
Notice the cheerful sound of footsteps on the sunny side.
And that happy tune is your step
The person's step is accompanied by a happy and upbeat melody.
Life can be so sweet
Life can be enjoyable and pleasant on the optimistic side.
On the sunny side of the street
Reinforces the idea that life is better on the positive side.
I used to walk in the shade
The speaker used to live in darkness and sadness.
With those blues on parade
Previously, the speaker experienced a parade of sadness.
But I'm not afraid
The speaker is no longer afraid of challenges.
This Rover crossed over
The speaker has successfully overcome difficulties.
If I never have a cent
Even without wealth, the speaker feels abundant and fulfilled.
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
A metaphor for feeling wealthy and successful.
Gold dust at my feet
The speaker feels like they have valuable treasures.
On the sunny side of the street
The speaker is on the positive and optimistic side of life.
Grab your street
A playful repetition of the earlier encouragement to hit the sunny side.
