Lyrics Iris DeMent

Iris DeMent

Keep On The Sunny Side

There's a dark and a troubled side of life

There's a bright and a sunny side too

Though we meet with darkness and strife

The sunny side we also may view

So keep on the sunny side,

Always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

'cause it will help us every day

It will brighten up the way

If we keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and it's fury broke today

Crushing homes that we've cherished so dear

Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away

The sun again will shine bright and clear

So keep on the sunny side,

Always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

'cause it will help us every day

It will brighten up the way

If we keep on the sunny side of life

So let us greet, with a song of hope, each day

Though the skies may be cloudy or fair

Let us trust in The Saviour away

To keep us, every one, in his care

So keep on the sunny side,

Always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

'cause it will help us every day

It will brighten up the way

If we keep on the sunny side of life

So let us keep on the sunny side of life
