[Verse 1] There's a dark and a troubled side of life There's a bright and a sunny side, too Though we meet with the darkness and strife The sunny side we also may view
[Chorus] Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
[Verse 2] The storm and its fury broke today Crushing hopes that we cherished so dear Clouds and storm will in time pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear
[Chorus] Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
[Verse 3] Let us greet with a song of hope each day Though the moment be cloudy or fair Let us trust in our Savior always To keep us every one in His care
[Chorus] Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

A. P. Carter of The Carter Family was known for going through the hill country in various states and “collecting” songs from families and communities for recording. This practice, as verified in the documentary “The Winding Stream,” produced some of their most enduring hits – Keep on the Sunny Side being one of them.
