POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE
From the film "Thanks A Million" (1935)
(Music: Arthur Johnston / Lyrics: Gus Kahn)


Dick Powell (Film Soundtrack) - 1935





I was born without a silver spoon
But in my heart I had a golden tune
And I find that I don't mind a thing
If folks will let me sing

I've got a pocketful of sunshine
And a heart full of song
And when I see you, all I want to do
Is pass it along, pass it along

The skies may be a little cloudy
But the world can't go wrong
While you've got a pocketful of sunshine
And a heart full of song

Cold winds may blow
But if you raise your voice and sing
Somehow I know there's gonna be Spring
Yes, there's got to be Spring

And so if Mister Trouble finds me
He will never linger long
'Cause I've  got a pocketful of sunshine
And a heart full of song

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
But if you raise your voice and sing
I know that it's gonna be Spring
Yes, there's got to be Spring

And so if Mister Trouble finds me
He will never linger long
'Cause I've  got a pocketful of sunshine
And a heart full of song
