Sunshine
Language: English
Ever try to crack a smile When ye'r feelin' glum? Er when ye'r all out o' sorts Jes' to whistle some? Ef y' do, fust thing y' know, Y' won't feel so glum, Things'll kinder jes' clear up An' the sunshine come. Ever try to look content When ye'r sky is black? Ever try to look for flow'rs Growin' long yer track? Ef y' do, fust thing y' know, Sky'll jes' git blue, An ye'll see jes' lots o' flow'rs Smilin' up at you.
