my Mothers favourite song, she used to sing this to us in The 1950’s Ireland amen ❤

Ella Fitzgerald was simply the best. Cheers also goes out to the songwriting team of Jimmy McHugh (musical composer) and Dorothy Fields (lyricist). They wrote this gem way back in 1930 - Dorothy Fields was a real trail-blazer, as there were very few women doing what she did back in the day. Indeed, both of these talented individuals enjoyed long and very successful careers.

Mama, I have been thinking about you and all the best things about you. The sacrifices you made for us, your 4 kids
All the musical tunes you used to sing around the house.
You were my first teacher and the best mother ever.
I love and miss you.

On the Sunny Side of the Street
가사
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid...this rover's crossed over
If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
(instrumental break)

I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as Rockefeller
There will be gold dust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street

It's the Blues and an evergreen... The very best there is. Just makes you feel good.

Grab your coat
Grab your hat, baby
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat, babe?
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, ba-ba-bo
But I'm not afraid, baby
My Rover's crossed over, ay
If I never have a cent, babe
I'd be rich as Rock-e-fellow
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
