Lyrics
Walked with no one and talked with no one
Experiencing solitude, without companionship or conversation.
And I had nothing but shadows
Living in darkness or obscurity, lacking substance or fulfillment.
Then one morning you passed
A significant moment when someone special (the listener) passed by.
And I brightened at last
Feeling uplifted and enlightened by the encounter.
Now I greet the day and complete the day
Finding joy in facing each day and successfully completing it.
With the sun in my heart
Having a positive and sunny outlook, with a heart full of warmth.
All my worry blew away
All worries dissipating, possibly due to newfound happiness.
When you taught me how to say
Learning a positive expression or attitude from the significant person.
Grab your coat and get your hat
Encouraging someone to prepare to go out and enjoy life.
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Suggesting to leave worries behind and focus on the positive.
Just direct your feet
Guiding towards a path of optimism and brightness.
To the sunny side of the street
Emphasizing the choice to be on the cheerful and favorable side of life.
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
Noticing a joyful sound, possibly footsteps, indicating a happy demeanor.
And that happy tune is your step
Associating a pleasant melody with the listener's steps.
Life can be so sweet
Highlighting the sweetness of life when one is optimistic.
On the sunny side of the street
Reiterating the positive experiences on the sunny side of life.
I used to walk in the shade
Recalling a time of hardship or emotional distress.
With those blues on parade
Expressing a previous state of melancholy or sadness.
But I'm not afraid
Conveying newfound courage and lack of fear.
This Rover crossed over
Referring to a positive change or transformation in the narrator's life.
If I never have a cent
Indicating that material wealth is not a prerequisite for happiness.
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Comparing personal richness to the wealth of Rockefeller.
Gold dust at my feet
Symbolizing prosperity and abundance, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
On the sunny side of the street
Reaffirming the positivity and contentment on the sunny side of life.
Grab your street
A playful repetition, encouraging the listener to embrace the positive path.
