On the Sunny Side of the Street
Embracing Radiance: On the Sunny Side of Life with Harry Connick, Jr.
Lyrics
Walked with no one and talked with no one
The singer describes a period of solitude, not engaging with others.
And I had nothing but shadows
During this time, the speaker felt surrounded by darkness or negativity.
Then one morning you passed
Someone special (referred to later) passed by in the morning.
And I brightened at last
The encounter with this person brought brightness and joy into the speaker's life.
Now I greet the day and complete the day
The speaker now approaches each day with a positive outlook, thanks to this person.
With the sun in my heart
The speaker carries a positive and sunny disposition within, influenced by the newfound joy.
All my worry blew away
All worries have disappeared due to the positive impact of the person mentioned.
When you taught me how to say
The person taught the speaker how to express joy and happiness.
Grab your coat and get your hat
Encouraging someone to prepare to go out.
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Leave worries behind and focus on the positive.
Just direct your feet
Direct your steps towards a positive and sunny destination.
To the sunny side of the street
Emphasizes the importance of staying on the optimistic side of life.
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
Notices a cheerful sound, possibly the sound of footsteps.
And that happy tune is your step
The rhythm of the person's steps is like a happy tune, contributing to the positive atmosphere.
Life can be so sweet
Life becomes enjoyable and pleasant when one stays optimistic.
On the sunny side of the street
Reiterates the idea of the benefits of staying on the sunny side of life.
I used to walk in the shade
Reflects on a past time when the speaker was in a more challenging or negative situation.
With those blues on parade
During that time, the speaker faced difficulties and sadness.
But I'm not afraid
Despite the challenges, the speaker is no longer afraid.
This Rover crossed over
The speaker has successfully overcome challenges or obstacles.
If I never have a cent
Even if the speaker doesn't have much money,
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
The speaker feels wealthy or content, comparing to the wealthy Rockefeller.
Gold dust at my feet
There is a sense of abundance and richness, metaphorically represented by "gold dust at my feet."
On the sunny side of the street
Reiterates the positive experience of being on the sunny side of life.
Grab your street
Repeating the encouragement to go out and enjoy life on the sunny side of the street.
