Lyrics
- A birthday card arrived from home this morning
I can’t forget the lesson that it taught
I realized how wrong I was this morning
For here’s the little message that it brought
Chorus
Put away a little ray of golden sunshine
For a rainy day
Just a ray may come in mighty handy
Sometime when the skies are gray
Anyone can laugh when it’s Spring
But who knows what tomorrow may bring
So put away a little ray of golden sunshine
For a rainy day
- It’s wonderful to know that you’re remembered
It’s not so much the value of the gift
It’s just that little thought that you’re remembered
That makes the darkest cloud begin to lift
