Open Up Your Heart (And Let The Sunshine In)

(album: Heartbreak U.S.A. - 1961)

Open up your heart and let the sun shine 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
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 'cause I'll never wear a frown

Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hanging round
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
If I forget to say my prayers the devil jumps with glee
But oh, he feels so awful when he sees me on my knees
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, 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
