"Pocketful of Sunshine" is a hit single from the album of the same name by Natasha ... Written by Natasha Bedingfield, Danielle Brisebois, and John Shanks

I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love an' I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh whoa oh
Do what you want,
But you never gonna break me,
Sticks an' stones are never gonna shake me
No, oh whoa, oh

[Chorus]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

[Interlude]
I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love an' I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh whoa, oh
Do what you want,
But you never gonna break me,
Sticks an' stones are never gonna shake me
No, oh, whoa oh

I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love an' I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh whoa, oh

Wish that you could,
But you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you can to control me
No, oh No-o

[Chorus]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place)

[Hook]
There's this place that I go
Where nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I call it home
And there's no more lies
And the darkness is light
And nobody cries
There's only butterflies

[Chorus 2x]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

[Chorus & Interlude MIX]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh, oh
I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh, oh

The sun's on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright

The sun's on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright

I'm so glad she has found a niche in the music industry, where she seems to be thriving and happy.

Wow, that's very cool.

Brisebois also contributed to three songs on Donna Summer's 2008 comeback album "CRAYONS".The songs she co-wrote (with Summer) are: the hit single "Stamp Your Feet On The Ground", "Crayons", and "Drivin' Down Brazil".

In her liner notes, Summer says this to Brisebois:

"God bless you and your husband on your wedding day and new life. You're a gifted woman and have a big future. May your dreams unfold greater than your expectations. I love you, "my little sister".

So true, it's nice to see a former child star successful and happy

Exactly. I think Carroll O'Connor would be so proud of her (apparently, they were as close off-camera as they were on-camera).

Now darn, you all don't play fair. I'm going to have to get out the first season of ABP to hear Archie and Stephanie sing Always at the bar together.
