Yesterday, things were so gloomy
But today, yes sir, they're shining and new
Oh, what a change has come to me
I've been dusted off the shelf
I am not myself
What a different world I view

I see a new sun up in a new sky
And my whole horizon has reached a new high
Yesterday my heart sang a blue song
But today hear it hum a cheery new song

I dreamed a new dream, I saw a new face
And I'm spreading sunshine all over the place
With a new point of view, here's what greets my eye
New love, new luck, new sun in the sky
