That Lucky Old Sun

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Up in the mornin' out on the job,
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
The song "That Lucky Old Sun" by the Jack Halloran Choir is a lament of the struggles of everyday life, comparing it to the ease of the sun rolling around heaven all day. The singer works hard each day for his pay, fussing with his woman and toiling for his kids. In stark contrast to his daily grind, the sun has no responsibilities and simply circles in the sky. The singer yearns for a release from his troubles and asks the Lord above for help. He envisions a paradise where he can be free from his struggles and join the sun in the carefree roll around heaven all day. The song is a poignant reflection on the hardships of life and the hope for a better existence.

Had this song played for me when I was 17 by a man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. 8 months later he died. Been nearly 23 years now. Not a day goes by I don't miss him.

@@tanksinatra3968 wow. Nothing like assuming I haven't moved on. In which I obviously have. With a wonderful man, his son, have one of my own, working on one with the two of us to give us a full house. But thank you for assuming I haven't moved on.
