THE SUN IS ALWAYS SHINING


As sung by Margaret Whiting (with the Mellowmen) 1957

Rereleased [100 The Original Tracks - Remastered] May 2013


Surely tomorrow the sun will shine [Chorus)

And will drive all the clouds away.


The sun is always shining somewhere [Whiting]

Driving the clouds away

So don't you feel you've been forgotten

If it's a rainy day.


The sun is always shining somewhere

Bringing the skies of blue

So forget all your sorrow for surely tomorrow

The sun will shine on you.


(bridge)


The sun is always shining somewhere

Driving the clouds away

So don't you feel you've been forgotten [Chorus]

If it's a rainy day.


The sun is always shining somewhere [Whiting and Chorus]

Bringing the skies of blue [Whitiing)

So forget all your sorrow for surely tomorrow

The sun will shine on you.


So don't feel so lonely and blue [Chorus]

The sun will shine [Whiting and Chorus]

On you [Whiting]

It will shine on you. [Chorus]


Notes:


Margaret Whiting, daughter of songwriter Richard Whiting, was a

1940s/50s/60s pop, jazz, C & W singer and TV personality. She was born

in Detroit USA. Her voice was wonderfully mellow, particularly in the

lower registers, and an attraction for many. She had a number of hit

recordings and continued to entertain until the 1990s. She was known by

her adoring fans as the voice of MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT, the work of

Blackburn/Suessdorf which her mentor, Johnny Mercer first suggested she

record. She first sang for Mercer when she was seven years old and he

eventually signed her as one of his first recording artists in the early

1940s. This song ultimately became a huge hit and over the years, a

picturesque all time standard.
