On the Sunny Side of the Street
Embracing Radiance: Finding Joy on the Sunny Side of Life
Lyrics
Walked with no one and talked with no one
Isolation and solitude, lacking companionship.
And I had nothing but shadows
Living in darkness or obscurity, with no substance.
Then one morning you passed
A significant moment when the person of interest appeared.
And I brightened at last
Feeling uplifted and enlightened by the presence of the person.
Now I greet the day and complete the day
Welcoming each day positively and wholeheartedly.
With the sun in my heart
Feeling joy and warmth internally.
All my worry blew away
All worries dissipating, experiencing a carefree state.
When you taught me how to say
Learning from the person how to express joy and positivity.
Grab your coat and get your hat
Encouraging someone to prepare to go out.
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Leave behind concerns and enter a carefree zone.
Just direct your feet
Guiding someone to head towards happiness.
To the sunny side of the street
Choosing the optimistic and cheerful side of life.
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
Noticing the sound of footsteps, possibly the person of interest.
And that happy tune is your step
Associating a happy tune with the person's presence.
Life can be so sweet
Emphasizing the sweetness of life when one is optimistic.
On the sunny side of the street
Highlighting the positive experience on the bright side of life.
I used to walk in the shade
Previous experiences in the metaphorical 'shade' or negativity.
With those blues on parade
Facing and dealing with a parade of personal blues or troubles.
But I'm not afraid
Overcoming fear and embracing positivity.
This Rover crossed over
A positive transformation or change.
If I never have a cent
Even without wealth, feeling rich and content.
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Comparing personal wealth to that of the affluent Rockefeller.
Gold dust at my feet
Feeling abundant and fortunate, akin to having gold dust.
On the sunny side of the street
Expressing the positive experience on the bright side of life.
Grab your street
A playful repetition, reiterating the call to embrace positivity.
