Let the sun shine in!

 

OPEN UP YOUR HEART (AND LET THE SUNSHINE IN)

(Stuart Hamblen)

 

Mommy told me something a little girl should know

It's all about the Devil and I've learned to hate him so

She says he causes trouble when you let him in the room

He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom

 

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Smilers never lose and frowners never win

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

 

When you are unhappy, the Devil wears a grin

But oh, he starts a-running when the light comes pouring in

I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown

Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hangin' around

 

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Smilers never lose and frowners never win

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

 

If I forget to say my prayers the Devil jumps with glee

But he feels so awful, awful, when he sees me on my knees

So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win

Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in

 

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Smilers never lose and frowners never win

So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
