Scattering Smiles and Sunshine

I love the sun! Summer is one of my favorite times of year with the longer warmer days when I have plenty of time to work and play before dark comes. I miss the warmth of the sun this time of year. I have always loved songs about sunshine as well. My Blog's name comes from a song that I love entitled Scatter Sunshine. I would love to share the words of the song with you.

1. 1. In a world where sorrow
   Ever will be known,
   Where are found the needy
   And the sad and lone,
   How much joy and comfort
   You can all bestow,
   If you scatter sunshine
   Ev'rywhere you go.
2. (Chorus)
   Scatter sunshine all along your way.
   Cheer and bless and brighten
   Ev'ry passing day.
   Scatter sunshine all along your way.
   Cheer and bless and brighten
   Ev'ry passing day.
3. (Chorus Alto, Tenor, and Bass.) Scatter the smiles and sunshine all along over your way.
   Cheer and bless and brighten
   Ev'ry passing, passing day.
   Scatter the smiles and sunshine all along over your way.
   Cheer and bless and brighten
   Ev'ry passing day.
4. 2. Slightest actions often
   Meet the sorest needs,
   For the world wants daily
   Little kindly deeds.
   Oh, what care and sorrow
   You may help remove,
   With your songs and courage,
   Sympathy and love.
5. 3. When the days are gloomy,
   Sing some happy song;
   Meet the world's repining
   With a courage strong.
   Go with faith undaunted
   Thru the ills of life;
   Scatter smiles and sunshine
   O'er its toil and strife.

   Music: Edwin O. Excell, 1851-1921
