"The Sunny Side Of My Life" by Merle Haggard & The Strangers is a love song about how the narrator's life is always brighter when he's with his significant other. The sunny side of his life is the side that his partner is living on and when they're together, grey skies never come. The narrator is feeling lonely and down when his partner is away, but as soon as they return, good times hang around and everything seems brighter. The lyrics also touch on how sometimes life can be tough, like when the narrator is sitting on a park bench trying to find humor in the comics, but ultimately everything seems off when his partner isn't around. Overall, the song is a celebration of love and the way it can brighten up someone's life and make the world a better place.
