Walked with no one

"On the sunny side of the street"

Walked with no one,
And talked with no one,
An 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 door step
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear that 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 'cause
This rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent
I'll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

With those blues on parade
Because this rover, it crossed over

If I never had a cent
I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street
On the side, at that side
Of the street that is sunny
