DOWN SUNSHINE LANE
(Dick Powell / Jack Hoffman)


Dick Powell - 1934



June time, time to spoon
Time to fall in love
In a spot that I know
Where lovers should go

Roses all in bloom
Birdies hum a song
They all seem to welcome us
As we stroll along

All the birdies are singing
What a happy refrain
When we go along swinging
Down Sunshine Lane

There's a smile from the posie
As he tries once again
Just to make our path rosey
Down Sunshine Lane

Ev'ry daffodil just heaves a sigh
Winks his eye, they think we're swell
And the daisies sit right up and stare
We don't care 'cause daisies won't tell

And if the weather gets funny
And it starts in to rain
Everything will be sunny
Down Sunshine Lane

(Instrumental Break)

All the birdies are singin'
What a happy refrain
As we go along swinging
Down Sunshine Lane

There's a smile from the posie
As he tries once again
Just to make our path rosey
Down Sunshine Lane

Ev'ry daffodil just heaves a sigh
Winks his eye, they think we're swell
And the daisies sit right up and stare
Just because the daisies won't tell

And if the weather gets funny, woh-ooh
And it starts in to rain
Everything will be sunny
Down Sunshine Lane
