That Lucky Old Sun" is a 1949 popular song with music by Beasley Smith and words by Haven Gillespie. Like "Ol' Man River", its lyrics contrast the toil and intense hardship of the singer's life with the obliviousness of the natural world.

This is a pretty good song called Sunlight by the Youngbloods. Forgotten now but got some FM radio play in its day.

Here is a pretty happy sunshine song I always liked and still like. It's by the great Roger Miller that I once saw do a live performance in a place called Prince George, British Columbia at their annual Agricultural Fair.
