Lyrics
Walked with no one and talked with no one
Isolated from others, no social interaction.
And I had nothing but shadows
Lived in darkness or obscurity, lacking substance.
Then one morning you passed
Encountered the person being addressed.
And I brightened at last
Became cheerful or enlightened upon seeing the person.
Now I greet the day and complete the day
Now starts the day positively and ends it fulfilled.
With the sun in my heart
Feeling joy and optimism.
All my worry blew away
All worries disappeared.
When you taught me how to say
Learned a positive way to express feelings.
Grab your coat and get your hat
Encouragement to prepare to go out.
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Leave your troubles behind.
Just direct your feet
Head towards a positive direction.
To the sunny side of the street
Optimistic reference to the bright side of life.
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
Implies a joyful sound accompanying movement.
And that happy tune is your step
The rhythm of your steps reflects happiness.
Life can be so sweet
Life is enjoyable and pleasant.
On the sunny side of the street
Reiterating the positive aspects of life.
I used to walk in the shade
Previously experienced difficulties or sadness.
With those blues on parade
Had a history of feeling down or depressed.
But I'm not afraid
Not fearful anymore, overcoming challenges.
This Rover crossed over
A positive change in fortune or attitude.
If I never have a cent
Even without wealth, feeling abundant and fortunate.
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Comparing personal richness to the wealthy Rockefeller.
Gold dust at my feet
Symbolic reference to prosperity or success.
On the sunny side of the street
Continuing the theme of positivity and contentment.
Grab your street
Reiteration of the earlier encouragement to go out.
