walk on sunshine

Popularised by the 1983 Katrina and the Waves song Walking on Sunshine

• "That little girl we'd practically adopted made me walk on sunshine. There could be no option where she wasn't doing great. I wouldn't be able to handle it."
• "The time before the Third Round of qualifying, the summer of 2012, when the impossible seemed within their reach – this was the country at its finest. Bowers had enjoyed seeing the fruit of his efforts pay off as much as he loved watching his countrymen get swept up in his soccer passion. Regardless of the outcome, he and the island's small set of believers were walking on sunshine."
• "They praised her work in Assam so profusely that she walked on sunshine for a few days. However, the heady experience of Karachi was followed by a miserable phase of Daisingari."
