Open up your heart and let the sunshine in



My mother told me something that everyone should know

It's all about the devil and I learned to hate him so

She said he causes trouble when you let him in the room

He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom



So let the sunshine in face it with a grin smilers never lose and frowners never win

So let the sunshine in face it with a grin open up your heart and let the sunshine in



[ guitar ]



When you are unhappy the devil wears a grin

But oh! he starts to running when the light comes pouring in

I know he'll be unhappy 'cos I'll never wear a frown

Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hanging round



So let the sunshine in...

[ steel ]



If I forget to say my prayers the devil jumps with glee

But oh! he feels so awful when he sees me on my knee

So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win

Just open up your heart and let the sunshine in



So let the sunshine in...
