(Why don't ya keep on...
The sonny side of life)

Hey ev'ry one lend me your ear
I've got good news that ya wanna hear
The greatest truth as pure as gold
And he's bound to help any young or old

To keep on the sonny side
Turn to the one who died for you
When there's no place for you to run and hide
Why don't ya keep on...
The sonny side of life

When you're feelin' sad and there's nothin' new
Your heart's about to break inside of you
When ya need an answer to a prayer
Well just call his name and he'll be there

To keep on the sonny side
Turn to the one who died for you
When there's no place for you to run and hide
Why don't ya keep on...
The sonny side of life

(instrumental)

When ev'ry one has let you down
And lonliness is just a-hangin' round
When ya feel your life is at an end
Well just listen to these words again

To keep on the sonny side
No matter how rough it seems
This world will be a-much better place
Well if we keep on...
The sonny side of life

Why don't ya keep on...
The sonny side of life
