It will explain my mind
Just as I write,
And the sorrow that hangs,
O’er me tonight.
I’m driven away from the one that held me
The smooth love, on the roughest sea,
Now this is a teaching
To us one and all,
That true love grows
Summer, winter, and fall.
Through sunshine and showers,
In gardens of Mayflowers.
And o’er the desert land
No distance can break it.
’Tis found as we make it,
True love for ever, stands.
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE
There’s only one way
That we’re to abide
Then the way to success,
Is very wide
On the sunny side of life.
Each moment in the day
We should wear a smile,
It brings so-called good luck
And it’s really worth while
On the sunny side of life.
The roses that bloom,
That scents the air
No place they grow
And look more fair
Than on the sunny side of life.
If we live right
And omit all sin,
Our days will be bright
From the beginning to the end
On the sunny side of life.
Even all the joy, and happiness too,
With God’s heavenly blessings,
For our deeds, kind and true,
Is on the sunny side of life.
