I've thought of and yearned for this too. Conversely, in the winter I'd like a path with maximum sun exposure.

    There's a dark and a troubled side of life;
    There's a bright and a sunny side, too;
    Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife,
    The sunny side we also may view.

    Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
    Keep on the sunny side of life;
    It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,
    If we keep on the sunny side of life.
