Sunny
Garry Blake And His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walked with no one and talked with no one
And I had nothing but shadows
Then one morning you passed
And I brightened at last
Now I greet the day and complete the day
With the sun in my heart
All my worry blew away
When you taught me how to say

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
This Rover crossed over

If I never have a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet

On the sunny side of the street
Grab your street

Line by Line Meaning

Walked with no one and talked with no one
I used to be lonely and isolated

And I had nothing but shadows
I was living in darkness and sadness

Then one morning you passed
You came into my life unexpectedly

And I brightened at last
You brought light and happiness into my life

Now I greet the day and complete the day
I start and end my days with joy and positivity

With the sun in my heart
I feel happy and grateful every day

All my worry blew away
My fears and concerns disappeared

When you taught me how to say
You showed me how to be happy and carefree

Grab your coat and get your hat
Let's go out and enjoy the day

Leave your worry on the doorstep
Don't bring your troubles with you

Just direct your feet
Let's go towards happiness

To the sunny side of the street
Where life is beautiful and positive

Can't you hear a pitter-pat?
Can't you feel the happiness in the air?

And that happy tune is your step
Your footsteps reflect your joy

Life can be so sweet
Life is full of wonderful possibilities

On the sunny side of the street
Where everything is bright and cheerful

I used to walk in the shade
I used to be unhappy and negative

With those blues on parade
With my problems on full display

But I'm not afraid
But I'm not scared anymore

This Rover crossed over
I've crossed over to a better, happier side

If I never have a cent
Even if I'm broke

I'd be rich as Rockefeller
I feel wealthy and abundant

Gold dust at my feet
I feel like I have everything I need

On the sunny side of the street
Where everything is bright and happy
