Keep On The Sunny Side / Aloha Oe'
(Travis James Humphrey)
PD; arrangements Copyright 2006 Travis James Humphrey
There’s a dark and a troubled side of life,
but there’s a bright and a sunny side, too.
Though we meet with the darkness and strife;
the sunny side we also may view.
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 up our way,
if we keep on the sunny side of life.
The storm and its fury rage today,
crushing hope that we cherished so dear.
Storm and clouds will in time pass away;
the sun again will shine bright and clear.
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 up our way,
if we keep on the sunny side of life.
Aloha ‘oe; Aloha ‘oe;
e ke onaona noho I ka lipo.
One fond embrace; a ho’i a’e au;
until we meet again,
just keep on the sunny side of life … ooh ooh … ooh ooh

Translation:
"Aloha `oe, aloha `oe"
(Farewell to Thee, farewell to Thee)
"E ke onaona noho i ka lipo"
(Sweet fragrance dwelling in the dark forest)
"One fond embrace, a ho`i a`e au"
(One fond embrace, before I now leave)
"Until we meet again."
