That Lucky Old Sun - Play Louis Armstrong
Up in the mornin',
Out on the job,
I work like the devil for my pay.
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
I fuss with my woman, and toil with my kids,
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray.
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm cry'in?
I got tears all in my eyes.
Why don't you send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me up to Paradise (lift me up to paradise).
Show me that river, why don't you take me across,
Wash all my troubles away,
I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do,
But just roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm cry'in?
Tears all in my eyes),
Send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me to Paradise (lift me up to paradise).
Yes sun, He got nothing but roll around heaven all day,
I say he just-a roll around heaven all day
I’ve been listening to this 2008 album by Brain Wilson of the Beach Boys fame most mornings. Makes me think, am I the lucky one? This song I find out out was first sung by Frankie Lane in 1949. Since then many others who wonder the same thing. Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash, even Kenny Chesney.
Brian though, took the one song and made it into a theme that tells the story of his life – ups and downs, just like the streets of SMA. If interested, story @

For me, the story goes on like the rest of us. Up in the morning and.... Hope the photos tell my story.
