Lyrics
Yesterday, things were so gloomy
But today, yes sir, they’re shining and new
Oh, what a change has come to me
I’ve been dusted off the shelf, I am not myself
What a different world I view
Refrain
I see a new sun
Up in a new sky
And my whole horizon
Has reached a new high
Yesterday, my heart sung a blue song
But today, hear it hum a cheery new song
I dreamed a new dream
I saw a new face
And I’m spreading sunshine
All over the place
With a new point of view
Here’s what greets my eye
New love, new luck
New sun in the sky
