On The Sunny Side Of The Street Lyrics - 90th Birthday Celebration - Lionel Hampton

Walked with no one and talked with no one 

And 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 doorstep 

Just direct your feet 

To the sunny side of the street 

Can't you hear a 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 

This Rover crossed over 

If I never have a cent 

I'd be rich as Rockefeller 

Gold dust at my feet 

On the sunny side of the street 

Grab your street
